monsters were responsible? I hope there is a hell, not the fire kind, the kind where the perpetrators of such horrors get to spend eternity suffering what they caused this child to suffer.

We can say this isn't happening anymore, and this was just 70 years ago (who the hell are we to point fingers at anyone else?) but it IS. Every Iraqi and Afghan and Pakistani, Yemini, Somalian child we kill, we are doing the same thing.

And do NOT forget the children in Abu Ghraib we tortured and sodomized and the 12 year old in Gitmo?

I feel sick! And we have people here actually defending this Government's foreign policies.

Poor, poor child, you just want to go back there and snatch him from their vicious talons and take him somewhere safe.

I will NEVER support the DP or Extra judicial killings ... in case anyone forgets we assassinated a 16 year old not so long ago with one of our drones. Shame, shame on this country.
