1. Thanks for this, ruby

Makes me cry, but we need to remember what's going on over there, and what it is costing all of us.

3. The baby that is shown in the beginning looks about the same

as my grandchild's age. I will not be able to watch, but will kick for the braver of the D.U.ers. Bring them home.

5. Thank you for this

I wish I could have recommended before the time period expired.

A lot of those kids are the same age as my boys. :cry:

6. Do you feel better about America now, Ruby?

Sorry, I thought your video was maudlin and very misleading.

By your title . . . "Iraq War Children" . . . and the "warning" at the beginning, I thought your video was going to show horrific pictures of the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Iraqi children who have been starved, maimed, and killed since we invaded, and have occupied, Iraq.

That would have been REALITY!

Instead, you showed a lot of photos of "kind" American troops hugging and holding little Iraqi children (all of whom have undoubtedly lost mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters, in this stupid war).

There is nothing "good" or "noble" about America's involvement in Iraq. Stop sentimentalizing what our troops are doing, and start advocating that they be brought home, ASAP!

7. Boy I thought this would get a debate going . . .

anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
