Submitted by The Fire Inside on Thu, 11/02/2006 - 9:49am.If nothing else, will people think of what the brothers and sisters of these children will do in response to this inhumanity.
It will depend on how Iraq turns out in the long-run. The brothers and sisters of Dresden, Tokyo, and Berlin didn't come back to destroy the United States for a reason.
Just a question, not an answer

Submitted by The Fire Inside on Fri, 11/03/2006 - 11:45am.I don't hate babies. I'm just not swayed by how armed conflict should be carried out because of deaths to women and children (the casualty categories used to discredit certain conflicts and military strategies).
Again,I can't stress this enough: This. Is. Why. You. Only. Engage. In. Defensive. Conflicts.
So with Iraq we need to decide one of two routes: Remove all US forces from Iraq or carry out the conflict in a manner which is consistant with American military doctrine used during conflicts we won.

What sad images. Poor babies.

Participation
Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Thu, 11/02/2006 - 11:44am.Those are my reasons for posting these pictures. That said, I hope McGavick doesn't win. But I am also totally sick of the two party duopoly. I voted for a third party candidate, who doesn't have a chance of winning (success would be attaining 5% of the vote). But I feel that this candidate was truly the best option in the Senate race. Even though this candidate is on the ballot, he was disallowed from participating in the regional debates, and gaining the media attention that would enable him to compete.
I voted for Aaron Dixon.

Reasons
Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Thu, 11/02/2006 - 9:38pm.That said, I hope she doesn't lose to McGavick (even though I voted for Dixon.) Don't hold back though. Vote your conscience. Iraq is the most important issue here, and I am willing to estimate that the difference between McGavick and Cantwell, once either one is in office, will be marginal, at best. So go ahead, vote Dixon with pride and authority!
