A few days ago pictures were released of some Iraqi civilians who had been injured. This is very surprising to start with, considering the US screeens everything. Quite harrowing pictures of children with extremely burned faces and arms, and one two year old who'd lost a foot. The child's father was saying "The US will pay for this".
But this isn't what disturbed me the most.
What disturbed me the most was a clip I saw today from a tank. The other person in the tank was pointing and smirking - the camera follows his gaze and zooms in to a dead Iraqi at the side of the road.
When it goes back to the man he's stifling laughter and looking the other way. Disgusting.

I laugh at particulary gruesome deaths in games and in films. If I were a soldier, seeing that sort of stuff in front of my very eyes, I'm afraid I'd be so de-sensitised I'd laugh too.
Well to be honest, if someone was trying to shoot me and i took him out, i couldnt help feeling a little pleased.

Heh.
I'm surprised the medic - or anyone else for that matter - didn't stop him reporting.

But they are soldiers, they are used to seeing and inflicting death so it's not really suprising they'd laugh at it, especially considering those dead soldiers probably targeted them.
Besides which I refuse to believe anything the Iraqis say until it can be proven, just yesterday they where saying how they'd managed to re capture the airport, kill hundreds of US troops and even tried to convince it's people that the burning tanks on the roads where American when quite clearly they weren't.
If they lied about that I wouldn't be suprised if they lied about other things as well.

That's assuming, of course, that the US caused those wounds...
Far more disturbing for me was the discovery of some 200 or more unsealed coffins and completely decomposed remains, with photos of burned and disfigured faces of torture victims. Most appear to have been executed by shots to the head.
Chemical weapons or not, this war for me is now justified, and I hope they bring them down quickly.
