UNNATURAL DISASTER
IN IRAQ!!


A TvNewsLIES COMMENTARY

The war against Iraq is no less catastrophic than the tsunami that just unfolded before our eyes.

In one sudden and tragic December moment just weeks ago, the waters of the Indian Ocean rose up to swallow nearly a hundred fifty thousand innocent people without warning. The tidal wave set off by a terribly powerful earthquake transformed tsunami into a fearful and horrifying household word, everywhere.

The outpouring of concern and sympathy for the victims of this catastrophic natural disaster was immediate and overwhelming. Nations stumbled over one another to be first and best in pledging aid to survivors. Organizations and individuals joined in unprecedented acts of charity and condolence to the 11 countries affected by this most cruel of calamities.

Help came quickly and unstintingly, and so it should have. Americans, in their usual generosity, gave tens of millions to bring comfort to those who had lost so much. Camcorder images of the first moments of the tsunami were flashed on television screens, 24-7, nonstop. Photos of the dead being retrieved from their watery graves filled the newscasts day after day, totals of the dead and missing were updated by the hour, and the devastation from the worst tsunami in recent history was etched in the public’s mind forever.
