I was watching this movie called "Cry Freedom" in which a very important South African Black Consciencness Movement leader - Steve Biko - was killed due to simply trying to change the way of life for black african citizens. More than being moved by the death of this very pro-active leader, I was totally outraged that 700 CHILDREN WERE MURDERED during a celebration rally along with 4,000 people being injured. Basically what it boiled down to was white south african leaders killing political prisoners who didn't deserve to be in jail in the first place and the jailers having the right not to declare the cause of death. Some of the causes were: Fell 10 floors, self hanging/strangulation, asthma attack, mortal injuries,.....what????? What finally drove Donald Woods over the edge was that Steve Biko was murdered and the cause of death was - "self starvation". I know other countries are experiencing similar violations against human rights...so that's why I ask the question - WHY IRAQ?
