I'm sorry, "le rouge et le noir," but that last posting was simply too antiseptic ...
Multiply the horror you see in the photo above by 654,965 ... and you still can't feel the agony of the immediate family ... or the pain of a nation ... Iraq, a country whose heart is aching.
Multiply each of the flag-draped coffins by 2,750 (estimated as of today) and you still can't feel the agony of the immediate family who has lost a son or daughter ... or the pain of a nation ... the United States of America, a country whose heart is aching.
Please, let us not forget what our bombs, bullets, missiles, white phosphorous, depleted uranium ... and our wrath ... has wrought!

Joe,
I get your point, but I think you have to be careful posting a photo like this. At least give a warning and then a link to the photo. Unless shock is what you're after. Nah, not you...

Yes, shock is definitely what I'm after. It took the photos of a young girl burning from napalm, the photo of the execution of a young man as the gun at his head was going off and the gruesome pictures taken at My Lai (and then "snuck out" to news sources) to finally put an end to the Vietnam fiasco -- a war with no definition ef either victory or defeat. [Today, we get along quite well with the "winners," if that's what Hanoi is regarded as.]
Even the Abu Ghraib torturing would not have stopped had literal photos not been captured and shown worldwide.
More on this in a posting soon, Richard.
Love
Bro Joe

No, I haven't seen "House of Sand and Fog." Is it a French film? I'll look it up on Movies.com and get some idea about it.
Thanks
