Sunday's Guardian (uk) has a video of the insanity that is the US presence in Iraq. It's too real, and of course would never be in any major US newspaper.
Guardian (uk): Iraq: The Real Story. A film by Sean Smith
Sean Smith, the Guardian's award-winning war photographer, spent nearly six weeks with the 101st Division of the US army in Iraq. Watch his haunting observational film that explodes the myth around the claims that the Iraqis are preparing to take control of their own country.

This is the 186th BLOG I've posted this comment on since yesterday.
As a veteran of Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq...over these last few months...I've wondered to myself, "Is it possible to reduce the amount of hatred and violence in our world?"
Last week, before going to sleep, I began asking myself a lot of WHAT IF questions.
The central theme behind my thoughts are neither anti-war or pro-religion. My words are not meant to inspire scenes of flag-burning or political protest signs. Sadly, I realize that sometimes a lasting Peace means war.
However, unless someone and everyone start talking about the idea of Peace...
Even if it's just for two short minutes...
It's possible that an unstoppable firestorm of hatred may one day burn its way across our entire planet.
Instead of pointing out those differences which separate mankind...
It's my hope that the humanity within all of us will somehow prevail...
Even if it's JUST FOR TWO SHORT MINUTES...

It'd great if you could POST your thoughts on what you believe...
