Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements.
We listen to the theory and logic from the spokespersons and place it against what we know to be true and correct, yet we can find no logic. What is certain is that looking at the shattered bodies of men, women and children should bring us to our senses. A news item on the radio this morning reported that the media had been allowed to get close to the latest civilian casualties in Iraq. The journalist said that the scene was so bad it was said it would never be shown on television. That is a pity. I would show it on television and place it against the hypocritical diplomacy and its accompanying words and let ordinary people make up their own minds.
