These pictures, taken by a photo-journailst in who eschewed the pool system during Operation Desert Storm, are a vivid depiction of why we must be sure of what we are during when we head down the path to a second war against Iraq. These photos could just as easily have been of American or Allied soldiers.
Nothing remotely like this has been shown on news programmnig in the U.S. since at least Vietnam. I think we need to be reminded what war really looks like. If we still find reason to go to war after careful deliberation regarding Iraq and the motive of those who are pushing for war, and we are willing to accept the cost, then so be it.
Warning: The pictures at the link above are very graphic.
