Christian peacemakers report killings of women and children by US troops in Fallujah
-14/4/04

Christian peacemakers in Iraq have reported harrowing scenes including the killing of women and children by US forces following an overnight humanitarian mission to Fallujah.

Iraqi doctors and international volunteers assisting Doctors Without Borders entered the city on Saturday, April 10 in a bus loaded with medical supplies from agencies in Baghdad. The city had been under siege by US troops for six days following the lynching of four U.S. security agents.

Volunteers assisting Doctors Without Borders in Fallujah reported that U.S. Marine snipers were "shooting at anyone who moves".

Hospital workers reported that 518 Iraqis had been killed by U.S. fire by Sunday, including at least 157 women and 146 children. Of the children, one hundred were under age twelve and of those, 46 were under age five. More than 1,200
had been wounded.

And Rummy says "we wouldn't do that" -

right, :mad:

Article continues indicating 157 women killed, and over 1,200 wounded

"This was a massacre," said Wilding, "and it will get worse."

I fear he may be right.

(sigh)

2. I pray to God that it ends soon...
But I fear it is going to get much worse.
And I wonder if I am doing enough to stop it.

3. Does anyone understand the undying hatred of a parent who's child
has been murdered? I can't even begin to describe what how I would feel and what I would do if one of my own was shot like that.

Welcome to the future.

5. Are Mai Lais occuring
Edited on Fri Apr-16-04 09:35 PM by fujiyama
with no reporting?

God, what has this country got itself into. What has happened in Fallujah is probably one of the greatest black spots in the last thirty years of American history.

God help us, and I'm not sure if I even believe in the existance.

9. What a nightmare--- please let this all be a dream
and not the reality of children being killed in my name by my countrymen who will forever carry the scars of this, as well as for the county of Iraq who's trials seem to only get heavier and heavier.

What a cruel world I chose this time and I wonder if there is any hope at all for this planet Earth.

She is such a bright and beautiful blue marble with a cancer of parasites who kill their mother and themselves and see not at all the paradise we have been given.

11. We went into Iraq
uninvited, occupied their country, and then killed them. I don't think they want that kind of "democracy."
