Images should be FAXed to all
I've FAXed some of these images to various government numbers during the invasion.
Of course, I don't include a callback number.
Freedom of speech, baby.
Keep it up.

Thank you. War is not simply "messy" as Rumsfeld would have it, it is atrocities at every level. My personal site will
post the heart-tearing image of the dead little girl with her feet blown off.

need to support the us cuz they are trying hard.. and what are you doing? all your doing is typing on a computer and
writting how horrible they are doing and eating bon bons... well fuck off... you need to go there and see whats going on
instead looking at all these bad pictures and assuming things..jerks...

Surprised?
Are These Pictures Really Such A Surprise?
Is it fair to assume the "Shock" of such pictures resides with those "who would otherwise support war" but now see the
errors of their ways?
The ongoing events in Liberia,Zimbabae and the Congo have, and continue to, affect brutally the poor and disaffected of
those troubled lands.
Responses to cries for international help have generally been poor or non-existent.
Polititians are well aware of what the general public considers a given, "No War at all costs".
Philip Taylors reign of power is hopefully at an end and the final costs in terms of deaths, maming and economic
castration will soon be counted.
Would I like to meet the inhabitants of Liberia and explain my opposition to sending in troops and to kill if necessary
those that brought havoc to their country?
No. I fear my protestation of "not in my name" would really be "not in my backyard".
A good conscience is cheap for those of us who can afford it.
War is bad is a simplistic statement bordering on the banal. If these pictures make people think, I hope they think hard

Thank you so very much for publishing these photographs. They should be COMPULSORY viewing, particularly by those in
whose willing name the blood is being shed. Anyone who thinks that war is "heroism" or "glory" should be forced to watch
the results of their jingoistic cheering for the murder of children – who constitute half the population of Iraq. As a
United States citizen, I am daily mortified by the actions of my fellows who wave their little flags, smile for
so-called "president" Bush, applaud the erosion of the Constitution, who consider the ability to careen recklessly along
the freeway in their Hummer to be worth any price, and who dare to invoke the name of the Prince of Peace to justify the
destruction of the world. Mark Twain put it very well in The War Prayer a hundred years ago: when you pray for your
side's victory in war, you are also praying for grievous loss,
Even more tragically horrifying is the idleness and noninvolvement of those who take not even the slightest interest in
what their government does – but spend instead hours upon couches watching "reality" television and filling their mouths
with pounds of fat, salt, and sugar while others are starving to death. For even despite the massive propaganda machine
on all the networks, there is a ton of information out there for those willing to confront the truth. All evil needs to
triumph is the silence of those observing it; but for the complacency and therefore apparent agreement of a willing
populace, the architects of the Third Reich – and in this case, the Fourth – cannot sustain their twisted creation.
God bless America? God help us all.

No one said that war was pleasant. We must remember why we are fighting this war... to eliminate the possibility of
terrorists obtaining dangerous weapons that could be used against American citizens at home or abroad. We are ensuring
the safety of our children, and our children's children.

Help The People Of Iraq.
I fill very sad to the the pictures of the innocent children being killed, what are the american doing there they are
supposed to bring back democracy to the country if they can't do it leave the country and let either the U.N or the OIC
to run it. May Allah help the people of Iraq.

Thank you for showing the true face of war. Question .. do you also print images of Palestinian suicide bombings, like
the one that just killed 20 people in Jerusalem?

At Long Last . . . .
God bless you. Your detractors will whine about matters of good taste and journalistic propriety. How could the truth
of these photos possibly be "obscene and pornographic" unless, of course, all we got before them were monstrous lies?
Thanks to you, no one will be able to sleep through this one.
