Abnumiah's website is carrying news from the famous Al-Jazira (or Al-Jazeera) satellite TV broadcasts, translated from the Arabic, which are received in the US via cable. These reports make clear the serious civilian death toll in the very poor country of Afghanistan, perpetrated with our tax dollars, while we have increasing poverty at home. War is a form of terrorism and the US is the biggest war-mongering country in the world. We need to remind all Americans who are confused about their interests that we cannot have both guns and butter. See the latest from Abunimah:

This sounds ghoulish, but if people can find and post pictures of damage scenes, particularly those which show the human destruction, it would be appreciated. Americans need to see the death and human misery in as graphic detail as possible in order to drive home the realities of this phony war on terrorism. I'm not speaking of IMC people, as much as those addled by TV. If pictures were posted they could be downloaded for anti-war purposes.

§They Don't Want Another Vietnam

I agree, I think a lot of people are going along with the war because they have no idea what's going on. All they know is TV says the bad guy is dying.
Mainstream media has not shown the truth; civilian death, atrocities committed by U.S. soldiers, because they don't want people interfering with their little depraved, bloodthirsty goals.
If people saw what was going on there would be another anti-war movement like the one during the Vietnam war. Go to rawa.org and see the devestation caused in the name of our country.
First they had to fight for their freedom, now they have to fight for their lives. We need to stop the bombing.
