I was sent this email this week. If a picture is worth a thousand words, these pictures are worth millions. Please keep in mind that while campaigning for president, John Kerry said that our
troops were terrorizing the Iraqis. The reality of the situation is much different than he'd have you believe.
Our troops are the only thing between certain death and tyranny, not only in Iraq, but across this great planet. If a certain political agenda doesn't figure this out, we will see this in the streets of America sooner than later.
"Why we're there."
Two pictures of the scene after a bombing in Baghdad. A picture you will probably NOT see in your newspaper, at least not the New York Slimes. "Adding to the chaos of the bombing, was a shooter targeting people in the crowd.
Amid all the Iraqis who are running from the gunfire was a U.S. soldier, standing tall, looking in the direction of the gunshots, NOT LOOKING FOR COVER. Iraqi boy seeks shelter behind the soldier, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division."
The first picture shows it all. The kid's face shows he is scared to death, and he's running to the safest spot he can find: this soldier who stands between him and danger. It would be difficult to stage a picture that provides a more potent metaphor for
the role played by United States in this wretched world.
   On that note.... I'm out! X |
