Reports are now becoming public of the massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians. The incident happened last November and was perpetrated by Marines who were angry about the death of one of their comrades. They reportedly went house to house and killed whole families.
Five hundred Vietnamese were killed in My Lai when soldiers, stressed over loss of their comrades, raided a village and slaughtered indisciminately.
In 1890 US troops killed two hundred Native Americans, including women and children, who posed no threat at all.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Inalienable rights. For all.
Haditha did not produce as many deaths as Wounded Knee or My Lai, but it was still an act of senseless murder. While the network news programs work feverishly to convince us that American troops are helping Iraqis, the headlines keep proving otherwise.
Do they hate us for our freedoms? Or is there another reason?
