This is why. The men in your government killed these children this week. They have been doing this for a long time and they continue to do it. They will not stop until we stop them.

Update: This news item is now reported by the Associated Press:

"An unidentified relative mourns over the bodies of children, reportedly killed during a U.S. raid, as they arrive in a hospital in Tikrit, 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Wednesday, March 15, 2006. Eleven people, most of them women and children were killed when a house was bombed during a U.S. raid north of Baghdad early Wednesday, police and relatives said. The U.S. military acknowledged four deaths in the raid that they said netted an insurgent suspect (emphasis added) in the rural Isahaqi area, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of the capital.

Iraqis Say U.S. Raid Kills 11 People March 15, 2006

"Police Capt. Laith Mohammed said the attack near Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad, involved U.S. warplanes and armor that flattened a house in the village of Isahaqi.

"An Associated Press reporter at the scene said the roof of the house had collapsed, three cars were destroyed and two cows were killed.

"The 11 victims were wrapped in blankets and driven in three pickup trucks to the Tikrit General Hospital, about 45 miles to the north, relatives said.

"AP photographs showed the bodies of two men, five children and four other covered figures arriving at the hospital accompanied by grief-stricken relatives. The victims were covered in dust with bits of rubble tangled in their hair.This news item has a picture gallery of this massacre."

This news item has a picture gallery of this massacre. Can the U.S. military count? or are they in their usual low level mode of 'counting' killed U.S. soldiers, instead of declaring the true figures of dead soldiers?

The Iraqi version (posted here an hour ago):

"Amer Fiadh, the Councillor of Al-Ishaqi (pronounced Al Is-haqi) District in Salah Al-Din province said that the American forces have executed eleven people belonging to one family, including a six-months old baby and four children who were less than eleven years old.

Fiadh further stated today that these people were executed in front of their home, after having their hands tied behind their back and summarily shot. After their execution, American helicopters then strafed the family's home levelling it to the ground."

The Councillor of Al-Ishaqi District claims that the American forces have executed eleven members of one family (In Arabic) March 15, 2006.

As citizens of the United States, what is our responsibility? The men in our government who are doing this must be stopped. In singleness of heart, with courage and solidarity, we can stop them. But we must first have an awakening within ourselves. We must examine within our true selves our reasons for being on this earth. We must understand the ways in which we have been deceived and more importantly, the ways in which we have deceived ourselves. We must realize that they are few in number and we are many. We must find a new vision and realize our power. This is why we meet ... and overcome our differences ... and organize ... and take the streets. They belong to us. What are you willing to do?
