More on President Bush
"I continue to urge restraint," Bush told reporters following a Cabinet meeting. "It is essential that people respect innocent life in order for us to achieve peace."
Can we say "irony"? Do anyone know how many Iraqii civilians have been killed since our occupation of Iraq? Well, Amnesty Internation estimated over 10,000 as of February 18, 2004 (Link). It's almost amazing that amoung the outrage of the death of the few US civilians, albeit their violent nature, very few words were heard about the innocent Iraqii civilians. I almost have more respect for the woman who said "we want oil, here we come" than those who still believes in our higher purpose of freeing the Iraqii. "Far from being liberated, the people of Iraq continue to live in fear and insecurity," announced Amnesty International (see article below).
