DRANT #225: MASS MURDER TODAY

There was mass murder committed today.
Insane meaningless indiscriminate killing of defenseless innocent people.
Blood everywhere, bodies and lives torn apart.
Horrific screams from the victims, the witnesses and the next of kin.
Indefensible inhuman and pitiless mass murder.
I am talking of course, about Iraq.
Where murder is a daily fact of life, and where the madman is not a sick Korean kid, but a cadre of suit-wearing psychopaths.

Thirty-odd people murdered in Blacksburg Virginia today, and the country is in mass mourning.
The President is shattered, the media people are unnerved, school administrators, professors, and students, clergy, all of them shocked and distraught.
Even the most hardened cops, Feds and others, shaken by the sheer violence, gore, and loss.
But this makes for a relatively peaceful day in Iraq - when only 30 odd bodies are dragged away, the wounded in a desperate run to the closest emergency care.
This is a day at the beach in Baghdad, or Fallujah, or Ramadi, or Anbar province.
Every day is Blacksburg in Iraq. And much much worse.
Can you even begin to imagine a life when every day means bombs and corpses, scattered severed heads and limbs, multiple rapes, tortures and beatings ?
Every day.
Every.
Day.

Well, give it a thought.
We are paying for it.
And- We know who the perpetrators are, We know that they have killed and will kill again.
Yet, We are letting it go on.
Yet, We have stopped nothing, changed nothing.

Here are just 2 photos of our mass murders in Iraq. Just so we can admire the product of our complicity, our tax dollars, and the future tax dollars of generations of us yet to be born.
`
If this is OK with you, then do nothing.
They are counting on it.
