    Abu Ghraib Photos

    These photos don't move me at all especially after seeing Iraqi terrorists behead innocent people. This is a war and no matter what anyone says or thinks, there are no rules to be followed. It is sad but true, men and women at war are no more than animals (on either side). I don't approve of thier tactics on any side of the situation but I will support my side right or wrong when survival is the issue. Like in the 60's question: What if we had a war and no one showed up? It's all about oil and money, power, control or land, and everyone knows this - it is not about human rights, welfare, or fair play. It has always been this way and always will be this way. It is human nature. To think otherwise or think we as humans can rise above our nature is to defy history. I really don't see the point of your article at all. Perhaps you should have put the overall cost to produce this into some other humanitarin effort that is bound to fail.
