First humanitarian aid reaches Umm Qasr

Iraqi children collect food parcels distributed by British Royal Marines, from 42 Commando, as they bring the first humanitarian aid to Umm Qasr, southern Iraq (news - web sites), Tuesday March 25 2003. The Marines entered the city on Monday and have been tasked to secure the port town so further aid can be delivered. (AP Photo Jon Mills, Pool)

Remember them.

$ to global aid not US greed

by BH Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2003 at 11:16 PM

Seeing this picture should remind us that we are part of a global community. We are all consumers here in the U.S. but please be wise about your purchases. Go to www.boycottthewar.org for info on how to buy as little U.S. as possible. If you have $$$ burning a hole in your pocket please use it wisely! Money speaks volumes....especially to the currently "deaf" Bush administration and their backers!

BH cut off your nose

So you want to boycott buying American goods, better yet why don't you just quit your job and or dropout of school. "Cut off Your Nose to Spite Your Face."

I don't think these Iraqis would support your boycott.

Perhaps you should stop eating Amercian food, drinking American water and breathing American air - so that you won't be such a damn hypocrite. Oh, and don't buy any gas for your car - no blood for oil, after all.

More Simplemindedness from Semen

by apache Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2003 at 11:32 PM

Yes, boycotting American and other corporate products

is an effective form of protest that has been long

overdue in the anti-war movement. Corporations should cough up the money themselves for humanitarian aid and the war itself since they are the ones who stand to benefit from American Imperialism.

While we are being distracted by the invasion and raping

of Iraq, the IRS is getting poised to royally fuck us

all thanks to the war and bush's tax cut for the rich.

Nevermind the moron's comment above about not using

gas and air; he speaks with an aire of entitlement that

is an insult to the original inhabitants of this

stolen land, my ancestors.

looks kind of staged

by mediawatcher Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2003 at 11:37 PM

something also seems very staged about this image,

like as if the youths were told to smile for the

camera.

"Little Akbar, your homeland has just been devastated,

I mean, 'liberated,' by coalition forces, what are you gonna do now?

"I'm going to Disneyland!"

Also, be skeptical about what they're given for food.

Remember, after we destroyed the infrastructure of

Iraq in the first Gulf War and subsequent bombings

(including the water salinization plants), the food

for oil program gave them a bunch of food stuffs that

were primarily sugar-based, causing dehydration and

dysentary among the populace.



Saddam Gave them . . .

by Got Answers Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2003 at 11:41 PM

Saddam got money for the oil he sold, what did he chose to do with it?

Simple

by Simple Simon Thursday, Mar. 27, 2003 at 12:00 AM

I wonder, Apache, if you think these Iraqi children are better off with or without Saddam. Your reflexive hatred for your own country is sad.

Are you upset about paying taxes? Why? Don't you think you should pay your fair share for all the great things you receive as an American citizen?

I hope that I've made it abundantly clear how much of a brainwashed buffoon I am. I must go now so that I can get some more "news" from Fox. I just love that Bill O'Reilly! He's my idol.
