Everyone who supports the illegal war in Iraq needs to see this

July 23rd Salee Story

In this video you'll learn first hand what happened to Salee and her family, about the November day when a US missile took Salee's legs and killed her brother and one of her best friends.

The failure of the media to tell stories such as Salee's has deprived the American people of the ability make informed judgments about US foreign policy. The rest of the world, and particularly people in the Middle East, see these stories every day on the evening news. The information deficit in
the United States has had disastrous consequences. Democracy cannot function when citizens don¹t know what's happening.

But there is reason to hope. A progressive Christian community in South Carolina learned about Salee and made a commitment to help her. Similar projects could generalize in the U.S., and communities all over the country could mobilize to help war-injured Iraqi children.

Despite the failure of the media to cover the human side of the war in Iraq, nearly two thirds of the American people oppose it. If stories like Salee's were being covered with anything like the attention they deserve, remaining support for the war would evaporate.

1. I don't know anyone on DU who actually supports this war.

2. There are people who say they oppose it but...

if we pull out now--or anytime soon--all hell will break loose.

The rose petals and chocolate bars will stop coming and all that. :eyes:

And then there are those who blindly support certain candidates who will NOT end the war or bring ALL our troops home.
