The ongoing horror in Iraq


A woman looks at her wounded son at a hospital, who was injured in a car bomb attack in Kirkuk.  This happened on March 11, 2011. A parked car bomb wounded 20 people when it went off in a market in Rahim Mawa, a mainly Kurdish area, police and hospital sources said. REUTERS/Ako Rasheed

It always seems that it is the children and the women who suffer the most from war, while it is men who start and continue the wars.  This child was not even born when the US government decided to wage an illegal war of aggression on Iraq, then occupy Iraq, and then destroyed Iraq.  I hope this child recovers and I hope he has a decent country to grow up in.  But I think I hope in vain.
