Here are some videos that show the plight of human beings. For some of you, it may be graphic content, for others it is an everyday reality. Please keep in mind that this video was prepared before the civil war in Iraq broke out.

Also, please keep in mind that despite what the media tells you, no Iraqis, including Saddam Hussein, harmed a single American. The Iraqis were highly educated and better behaved population in the ME. If you hate what you see in these videos, won't you please shed a tear for them ?

Western propaganda is questionable. For facts, check the crime rates in Iraq and in the US before the invasion. What percentage of US polulation is in jails?
Iraqi women are treated in a much higher esteem by the Iraqis than American women are treated by American men. The women in pre-invasion era did not go to bed worrying about being raped as they are now worried about rape and bullet thru their body or being doused by fire to eliminate evidence of rape. Arguing against this will demonstrate statements devoid of facts.

I didnt see the videos...
I have not been brainwashed to think other people are our enemies...
I will not shut my eyes to the truth...lots of innocents will and have died and the American government will find some way to justify it.. then in 20 years or so when the youth of today become adults they will retalliate for the war over oil and power...
Americans NEED to STOP being oppressed and claiming they are "free" I have never seen such a lie.. at least people in other nations KNOW and ADMIT they are opressed.. in the USA they "claim" they have the most freedom.. but really they are SOOOO brainwashed into thinking they HAVE to support their "leader" and HAVE to support their "troops" they are too scared to think anything else

Some of the images are labeled as being pre-war and the same images are shown as dated 2005. Which is it? You Tube is a fun website but the user made videos are not to be taken for fact.
Are things bad in Iraq? Of course they are. Is sympathy to be shown the citizens? Of course! I think about it every day. I think of the poor people there, everyday citizens like myself who want nothing more than to live free, feed their children and grandchildren, sleep in a warm, dry bed each night safe in the knowledge that nobody is going to come take me or mine away to a prison for not agreeing with my country's leadership.
See where I am going with this? The people of Iraq DID have to worry about being grabbed in the middle of the night, buried alive, having their pre-teen daughters raped multiple times by government soldiers. Things are not complete there. If allowed to finish, this effort could be a wonderful accomplishment for freedom and democracy. Their lives COULD be changed greatly for the better...IF...we stop trying to fight a war where nobody gets hurt. It's an impossibility.
As much as people want to believe that our military people are not welcomed in Iraq, the fact for me, based on conversations with those who are/have been in country is that the citizens ARE glad we intervened. The citizens want their homeland back, they want to be able to be free.
Do I hurt for them? Yes I do. Struggles for freedom are as old as time itself, they are not easy and not without sacrifice...never have been.

... and no American 'harmed' any Iraqis...
We "captured him " remember?
Personally I would have hauled his sorry butt out of that hole, beaten him half senseless and handed him over the southern Sunnis....
They would have had some real fun killing him slowly..
Wake up and find a life you are a pinhead lemming....

Yes, and I'll say prayers. The two together are very powerful.
