can any american imagine the horror and terrorism of occupation?

[bpilgrim]

is that why they hide the images from us... cause if we could imagine, just a little of it, we would DEMAND it END, NOW?!?

1. We can't which is maybe on reason we keep doing stupid shit like this.

The Europeans remember it well. Probably not a coincidence they've been much more circumspect about invading people.

11. i agree

and was very disappointed when japan sent military forces overseas to a combat zone for the first time in 60 years.

when i go to the 'history' section of our bookstores they are filled with WAR BOOKS and which in turn fills me with dread.

2. I am Sick About It!

to the point that I am willing to do what it takes, and I mean physical graffiti. Not just protesting but taking the training that this so called government gave me during the "Nam to take back, and make right what our country should be standing for!

3. there are a lot of people in NYC who don't need to use their imagination

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. Huh? NYC was occupied? When did this happen?

[tk2kewl]

7. WTC attacks followed by huge influx of National Guard

we still have national guard roaming every transportation hub and i have cops with m-16 in front of my building every day

[bpilgrim]

9. our own fucking troops does NOT count as an OCCUPATION, hello...

how many homes have they raided? how many males have they rounded up and TORTURED?!?

you don't have a clue

13. so you don't think the people who experienced that WTC attack first hand

(as in they were in the buildings or responding to the immediate aftermath) have a comparable experience that doesn't require them to use their imagination regarding the state of affairs in Iraq? :shrug:

[bpilgrim]

15. that is NOT the day-to-day horror & terror of OCCUPATION

that has lasted YEARS now and is NOT an OCCUPATION, get real.

i am SICK of the RW dredging up 911 when talking about Iraq and shocked to hear those same TP used here on DU.

5. BULLSHIT - that wasn't an OCCUPATION, where state terror occurs DAILY

multiple times, with RAPE-TORTURE and MURDER of CHILDREN, in front of their MOTHERS for christ's sake!

16. .

6. The military is always sent in to breakdown resistance, to...

...coherse obedience and to force the occupied nation to surrender all of their will and freedom to the occupying forces. The Bush lie is that U.S. forces are in Iraq to make all Iraqis free. The above photo shows the absolute corruption of that claim. Iraqi insurgents and their families, relatives and neighbors are being massacred by U.S. forces in the name of bringing freedom, when in reality only Iraqi goons and collaborators with the U.S. are given privilege as long as they comply with the corporate masters who are embedded like scavengers and parasites all over Iraq.

This war, Bush's war is totally about power and control of that area for American and UK strategic ambitions that are yet to unfold. Please keep posting these forbidden pictures for all to see.

8. Many Americans still tell family stories of

Sherman's March to the Sea and how it destroyed their family or property.

Things like that take a long time to forget about.

10. 'MANY' - how MANY?

we don't know shit about it and that will be our undoing...
