Caught on Camera: Joe Biden admits gun control will not stop mass shootings or save lives. Three shot at Lone Star College in Texas. Proof: The Founders Wanted Americans Armed. A global perspective on American child deaths - Eureka Street. 'You come from a culture where it is okay to kill children,' the Iraqi woman said. We were sheltering against the wall of a building in Fallujah in April 2004 while the city was under attack by US forces. I began to protest, but she continued, in broken English: 'Let me say it another way. You come from a culture where your people think it is okay to kill our children.' What could I say? There were several little bodies at my feet, bloodied remains laid out on the footpath and covered with thin sheets. The children had been shot by US snipers that day, among at least 1000 civilians killed in that ferocious attack.
This Iraqi woman knew there would be no collective outrage at the killing of Fallujah's children. Some commentators have compared the response to deaths of the children in the small American community of Newtown with the young victims of US wars. The Newtown killings are considered an act of someone who is 'sick' or 'mad', and are universally condemned. Comments. Photos du journal. YouTube. YouTube.
