Ebbie,

They would be more moving if they didn't use the same images over and over. It tends to minimize the impact if people are saying "What?, only fifty bad pictures?" and without true context it's only propaganda.

And the one with the swearing is off base as I've heard just as much of it from the Liberal side.

Don't get me wrong, I think we were wrong to start this thing. But I don't remember being all that worldly wise when I was fifteen. I really don't think she sees anything other than the wounded and dying (which should be enough!). Not that I support G.W.Bs. reasons for going to war, but does she understand what happened to the Kurds and Shiites while Saddam ruled? Does she understand the genocide in Darfur?

We can pull out and end our involvement in Iraq (which I'd like to see happen) but I don't think that it's going to result in peace in Iraq.
