I love dailkos. This recent diary really got to me and thought to pass the link here. It is a tragic example of how low we have become....so if you don't want to know - don't read further.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/11/19/185120/61snip - "I am being held at gunpoint by American soldiers inside Abu Hanifa mosque Dahr," he yells, "Everyone is praying to God because the Americans are raiding our mosque during Friday prayer!"
snip - "They have shot and killed at least 4 of the people while they were praying, and at least 20 are wounded now! I cannot believe this! I can't let them see me calling you. I am on my stomach now and they have guns on everyone, there are at least 1,500 people inside the mosque and it is sealed. We are on our bellies and in a very bad situation."
snip - "I am in a very sad position. I do not see any freedom or any democracy. If this could lead into a freedom, it is a freedom with blood. It is a freedom of emotions of sadness. It is a freedom of killing. You cannot gain democracy through blood or killing. You do not find the freedom that way. People are going to pray to God and they were killed and wounded. There were 1,500 people praying to God and they went on a holiday were people go every Friday for prayers. And they were shot and killed. There were so many women and kids lying on the ground. This is not democracy, neither freedom."
