There are now more than one million orphans in the country, many living on the streets.


-snip video-

Iraq is full of street kids; children with one or both parents killed, or some who have merely been abandoned.

It has been estimated that there are now more than one million orphans in the country. But there are just four small orphanages in the capital, Baghdad - none of them filled to capacity.

The Iraqi government says that relatives would rather abandon children they are unable to take care of than bear the shame of bringing them to an orphanage.

WE DID THIS

the LEAST we could do now is give them shelter at night and food every day

shame on us

an idiot.

jackasses from the bush admin? You know,the ones who have been all over the media trying to take credit for the killing of OBL. This is what they should be taking credit for...they were the cause of this with their lies and deceit, all for the oil. Every dime they have should be given to the orphans in Iraq to try to make good, in a very small way. How in Hell can these thugs sleep at night? They are the cause of so much misery in the world because of their greed.

hate kids no matter where they are from, because we are trying to make them as miserable as possible. :cry:

nt

disenfranchised and ergo have no choice in how our taxes and our soldiers are used for im-moral purposes, but we CAN work to be sure that, though the mainstream mediocrity propaganda media will lie and obfuscate and hide the truth, we will NEVER FORGET.

be required to account for what we have done. :patriot:

a million plus reasons for looking back.
