Reply #22: During the Civil War however... [View All]

[rasputin1952]

photography was in it's infancy, and once the citizens got a truly horrid view of the war, people who weren't there finally got to see just what was going on. Operating tables, piles of legs and arms outside of tents and the dead lying on the fields, bloated and horrific.

Perhaps we NEED to see these things. War is not pretty, and to FORCE the injured and dead behind a curtain does neither them, not anyone else a service.

bush & Co are trying to make this particularly unjustified war something of an art form, and that will not fly. If there were a valid reason for being there, I would not mind as much, but the 'cowboy from Texas' wanted to boost his image, and now our young men and women are paying the price for his hubris. That is not fair to them, nor to the rest of the country.

The withholding of the truth of the slaughter adds to the lies that brought us to this in the first place.

Where is Osama? this is what we should be screaming from the rooftops, I never let them forget that I am opposed to this particular action.
