Making Our Common Humanity News
I must have missed the article, but I do not know if there were any other people killed when the U.S. dropped two 500 lb. bombs on Zarkawi last month. I guess no one in our public affairs offices of the "Coalition Forces" in Iraq or the Bush Administration deemed the possibility of other dead and wounded by these bombs important enough to mention. I cannot imagine that the leader of the most dangerous terrorist group was alone. Even without personal security guards? Inconceivable.
So, how many human beings were killed in this assassination by aerial bombs? The others killed or wounded joined the tens of thousands of Iraqis uncounted by the occupation coalition. How many parents, siblings, children and other loved ones have lost someone in this war and occupation? Who here in America considers this tragedy when reading statistics of this war in our media?
If anyone knows, please post a comment containing this information about the killing of Zarkawi.
Death, well, I hear that none of us gets out of this life alive. For every loved one of the 2,500+ killed and 10,000+wounded U.S. military men and women in Iraq, grief and mourning does not differ for the loved ones of a terrorist, a suicide, an insurgent or innocent victim in war.
Perhaps our personal efforts to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should encompass equal sense of entitlement to these same values for our known enemies and for those persons we do not know at all.
