That quote, and some from Camus, is and are very dear to me that at least someone somewhere wrote down how impossible it is that children suffer. Thank you for posting it. I can’t really process the photo. It’s too horrifying.

For Peace.

There are those who still think: "Six years later, we still aren't debating the Iraq war honestly" "I believe reasonable people can look at that ledger (or a more complete version of it) and conclude that the Iraq war was not worth it.

But lots of those “liberal-left” people on “Harry’s Place” and “Liberal Conspiracy” will tell you that “we got rid of Saddam”. From the safety of their arse tucked into the armchair and the war unravelling on Sky TV…
Amazing.
