Children in War

Probably the most shocking pictures of the war in Iraq are the ones of children in the middle of the battlefield.

I have never really thought about it, but throughout time, children have probably been in the center of peril in all wars.

To see children in deadly peril is to understand why war is wrong. But then, if we can free ourselves from oppression through war, then it is the children for whom we should fight wars.

Reasons for a War with Iraq
(Posted before our attack on Iraq)

We will go to war with Iraq because:

1. Iraq was involved in September 11, 2001.
2. The Bush Family wants Iraq's oil for themselves and their friends.
3. The Christian right wing does not like Islam.
