War is Not Healthy for Children or Other Living Things
Repost via Gawker.com
The above link will take you to an article about a Wikileaks video showing innocent citizens being mistaken for enemy terrorists and gunned down in the streets. In the video two children were also wounded by the gun shots. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you are on, the video is chilling. It demonstrates what utter chaos and confusion war brings. Listening to the pilots talk about the human lives they are about to gun down will send chills down the spines of most people. Unfortunately the chaos and confusion caused by waring parties often results in the neutral parties being hurt.
Disclaimer: I believe the truth in most situations is somewhere in the middle. Some might look at this and think it is just more hippie bullshit or liberal propaganda. In this post I'm not advocating anything and I am in 100% support of the troops. That being said, I also support human life 100%. I encourage everyone to read every side of a situation before taking one side or another. Take it for what you will.

- Things most people only dare to think, I say them. Things that will never cross people's minds, I say those too. Even though I won't change my actions to accommodate this, I worry about what people think of me. (But I'll never admit this outloud). I'm charming when I mean to be and ugly when I don't mean to be. I'm a mom (to be) and scared out of my mind. Excited too. I precariously toe the line between offputting and insanely likable. Terrible and wonderful.
