Letters to the Editor

Haditha is the new My Lai
without any of the justice brought against the perpitrators. The only difference between the Iraq war and the war in Vietnam is the language and the sand.
I am disgusted and ashamed beyond words. I cannot believe that this mindless violence is allowed to continue without any restraint.
How are three and five year old children enough of a threat to warrant their murder? How is a one year old baby worthy of murder?
How can we explain away the killing of any "military age" males? By that rationale, are any men aged 18-45 to be freely killed simply for the possibility that they are military combatants?
I'm revolted by the dehumanization taking place in regard to Iraqi lives. I am not capable of such cold hearted behavior or thought processes. I think of the families torn apart by our violence, the innocent lives killed in cold blood, and I am filled with grief and remorse. It must stop. Not for the sake of our nation, but for the sake of our very humanity.
