MAY
29 TH
KILLED
TWELVE
CHILDREN
AND TWO
WOMEN
WHILE
BOMBING
FROM THE
AIR
IN THE
MIDDLE OF
THE
NIGHT
AND
THE BIG
BAD BOOGEY
TALIBAN
WAS FAR
AWAY
FROM THESE
CIVILIAN
HOMES
NOOR
AGHA ASKED
WHY
WAS
MY
HOUSE
BOMBED?
BECAUSE
SHE LOST
RELATIVES
IN THE
AIR RAID
GONE
HOMICIDAL
MANIACAL
MILITARISTICALLY
MURDEROUS
AND
THE
GENIUSES
WHO WORK
FOR THE
RICHEST
COUNTRIES IN
THE WORLD
WHO STOMP
ON THOSE
WHO HAVE
ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING
HAD THIS TO SAY:
"Unfortunately, the compound the insurgents purposefully occupied was later discovered to
house innocent civilians."
-Major General John Toolan, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) commander for
the southwest region of Afghanistan.
&
“We’re gonna continue to do everything we can to express our deep regret when a terrible
incident occurs and civilians are injured or killed.”
-Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State
CAN
YOU
FEEL
THE
CONSUMMATELY
COMPASSIONATE
ARMS
WHICH
REPRESENT
WE
WHO LIVE IN
THE
DESENSITIZED
STATES
OF
AMERICA?
ARE
YOU
HAPPY
TO
LIVE
IN
SUCH
A
DECLINING
STATE
OF
AFFAIRS?
ONE
HAS
TO WONDER
THAT IF
A FEW AFGHAN
KIDS
GOT IN A
ROW BOAT
AND ROWED
ALL
THE WAY
TO THE SHORE
OF
FLORIDA
AND WITH ONE
PLASTIC
SQUIRT GUN
DURING
THE
BRIGHTEST
HOUR
OF THE
DAY
IN THE BLAZING
SUN
WHERE THERE IS
NO
SHADE
WHATSOEVER
AND
EVERYONE
AROUND
THEM
CAN SEE
HEAR
AND RECORD
WITH THEIR
CELLPHONES
THEIR
EVERY
MOVEMENT---
WHAT DO YOU
THINK
THE UNITED
STATES
WOULD DO
IF ONE OF
THOSE
KIDS
TOOK A PEE
ON
AMERICAN
SOIL?
JUST ONE
KID
AGE
8
OR
9
TAKING A
PEE
NOT
EVEN
A
FULL
FLEDGED
PEE
BUT ONE
WHERE
JUST A
LITTLE
URINE
TRICKLES
DOWN
AND
LANDS
A COUPLE
OF
DROPS
IN THE
SAND---
I
SHUDDER
TO THINK.
