.grief .innocent .fear .hate
(Saturday, February 05, 2005)there have been a series of unfortunate events in 2004. arsenal's unbeaten football record, the war in middle east, the tsunami in asia, bush winning the election, and things i never bothered to remember.
as much as i love to be ignorant and poorly-informed, i can't. yesterday i managed to get in the mood for happy chinese new year, with everything red and yellow or bright-coloured in my vision, visit my blood sucking rude disrespectful cocky asshole relatives (don't get me wrong i don't really hate them), listen to their gibberish nonsense. it might sound bad but in fact, it the chinese new year spirit that matters. however while we're celebrating, we tend forget that ill-fated bunch. innocent young children's fate is doomed by a foolish war start by a senseless man, prying into iraqi's politics. to deny his lack of brain-power and politics conspiracy, george w. bush junior uses independance and humanity as a subterfuge to eloquently cloak his mark of bad judgement.
i came across these photos in the newspaper. even when it took me longer than 2 hours to find these photos, i needed to show someone about it. hopefully, it will make a difference to their life. maybe yours too.
iraqi children being treated at a scene by US soldiers after car bomb targeting an American convoy exploded, cause MINOR (???) injuries to two soldier and six children in a nearby house in Mosul on Thursday.

all the publicity about children and women suffering in the iraq war has been kept under the shell. so much for independ-what? in the states.
