1. It's sad to think that the brains of these kids who have known nothing but
chaos, fear, and war are actually permanently altered. Anyone who wonders why they hate us is either woefully ignorant or an idiot.

3. no one asks the Iraqis
Today on CNN they did a whole thing on the "new Iraq". A couple of anchors asking some clueless nerd from a think tank questions about Iraq. Is it safe in Bagdad? How is the electricity? The guy had never even been there. I wondered how many reporters CNN has in Iraq? Why don't they go out and interview some actual Iraqis?
Have any of the media ever interviewed a single Iraqi during this entire war?

4. CNN doesn't concern itself with the truth
I remember they once asked an Iraqi who he wanted to win the US election: Bush or Kerry. He responded, "I don't want either one to win I want the US to leave," or something like that. They learned their lesson after that.

5. 1. aWol and all his Agents of Satan have been lying and no Media
are questioning it. All schools are supposed to be open and back to normal and all children learning as they did during Saddam.

2. Isn't there some nasty toxic chemical residue in these craters?

6. Bush, being Christian, have a moral obligation to drop leaflets, blast
audio from Black Hawk helicopters, air on radio and TV, publish in newspaper... to inform Iraqis NOT to let children play in bomb craters? Unexploded materials, poison contaminant residues, depleted uranium... Wouldn't this be a "Christian" thing to do? Or it's not in the Bible so they have no clue what to do?
