Is This Child Dead Enough for You?

Fri Nov 23, 2012 2:22 am » by **Noentry**

To all those now hailing the re-election of Barack Obama as a triumph of decent, humane, liberal values over the oozing-postule perfidy of the Republicans, a simple question:

Is this child dead enough for you?

This little boy was named Naeemullah. He was in his house — maybe playing, maybe sleeping, maybe having a meal — when an American drone missile was fired into the residential area where he lived and blew up the house next door.

As we all know, these drone missiles are, like the president who wields them, super-smart, a triumph of technology and technocratic expertise. We know, for the president and his aides have repeatedly told us, that these weapons — launched only after careful consultation of the just-war strictures of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas — strike nothing but their intended targets and kill no one but “bad guys.” Indeed, the president’s top aides have testified under oath that not a single innocent person has been among the thousands of Pakistani civilians — that is, civilians of a sovereign nation that is not at war with the United States — who have been killed by the drone missile campaign of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.

Yet somehow, by some miracle, the missile that roared into the residential area where Naeemullah lived did not confine itself neatly to the house it struck. Somehow, inexplicably, the hunk of metal and wire and computer processors failed — in this one instance — to look into the souls of all the people in the village and ascertain, by magic, which ones were “bad guys” and then kill only them. Somehow — perhaps the missile had been infected with Romney cooties? — this supercharged hunk of high explosives simply, well, exploded with tremendous destructive power when it struck the residential area, blowing the neighborhood to smithereens.

As Wired reports, shrapnel and debris went flying through the walls of Naeemullah’s house and ripped through his small body. When the attack was over — when the buzzing drone sent with Augustinian wisdom by the Peace Laureate was no longer lurking over the village, shadowing the lives of every defenseless inhabitant with the terrorist threat of imminent death, Naeemullah was taken to the hospital in a nearby town.

This is where the picture of above was taken by Noor Behram, a resident of North Waziristan who has been chronicling the effects of the Peace Laureate’s drone war. When the picture was taken, Naeemullah was dying. He died an hour later.

He died.

Is he dead enough for you?

I'm sorry troll, I know you hate these videos. They are not fiction I suppose.

A picture is worth a thousand words then this video is worth a thousand cries.

Murder is never a pretty thing.

I'm sorry mods. I doubt anyone will make it to the end of the video.

With the lack of truth and blatant lies espoused by any side of a conflict, I often wonder if, in order to paint the right picture we indeed allow ourselves to follow the wrong path.

The issues that surround these conflicts, especially the conflict occuring now, are deep seeded and complex.

For one, I am sick and tired of hearing the bitching and moaning from people in conflict zones when they themselves have yielded the power to alter the direction of their society. Sure, it is easy for people to mass in the streets in defiance of any oposing force, but when the shit hits the fan, the very same defiant people cry foul and bloody murder.

Why the hell are these conflicts still in existence in today's times? When are people going to realise that life is too short to allow hatred on a massive scale to permeate through society.

DON'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT IN ALL THESE YEARS, WITH ALL THE BRAINSTRUSTS IN THE REGION AND IN THE WORLD, THAT A SOLUTION TO THIS MINDLESS AND NEVER ENDING SAGA CANNOT BE FOUND.

I am of the opinion that the PTB in these areas do not want a compromise and as such do not want a solution, as a consequence their people suffer on both sides.

So what to do?

For a start, get rid of the people who have failed to secure peace, and replace them with people who seek out peace. The problem is that the very people who can force the change, are the sheeple who believe that they can achieve a 100% victory in a situation where there can only be mindless murder.

For one, I have stopped listening to stories and stopped reading to stories from these areas, I find that the there is NO new news worthy of my time. Now, give me the same stories and show me the people who are trying to make the difference, then show me the road blocks and I will guarantee you that you will find a solution.

I do not hate the people, I detest the dumbfucks who lead their people off the cliff and then cry fould play. People are pawns in these games, and I am fed up watching innocent people being sacrificed in order for egotistical imbiciles to prove a point.

The ONLY point to prove here is stopping the hatred that leads to the bloodshed, show me a leader who can do that. Peace at any price costs less than you think.

This post has nothing to do with Israel or Palestine.

It has everything to do with Pakistan and American drone missiles.

The reason for the question.
Is this child dead enough for you? Is directed to the Obama administration and its denial that predator drones do not kill Pakistani civilians.

This child was killed by one such attack in Pakistan.

It is stated.

strike nothing but their intended targets and kill no one but “bad guys.” Indeed, the president’s top aides have testified under oath that not a single innocent person has been among the thousands of Pakistani civilians

So I ask.
Is this child not dead enough for you?

You are going of subject, this is not about embryos or kiddie porn or sex trafficking. :headscratch:

So it traumatizes you!
These types of indiscriminate murders are going on all the time.
You would rather pretend it wasn't going on?
So your petty feelings are not hurt. Your solution is to ignore it? then it might never happen again. :roll:

Many do not understand this is going on as you claim too.
So should I not explain this to others, because it may make you feel sad?

Time to grow up Umbrex.
The world is a bad place. Full of bad people.
Hiding from it or ignoring it is not going to make it go away or change the situation.
Only by showing the truth can we find a way to stop these murders.

If I follow your example and I ignore the truth, would that make you feel better?

I do not hide from evil, I confront everything that is bad.
Not scurry under a rock at the sight of the a controversial subject.
Like you want me to do. :think:

Strange that you would attack the messenger instead of those who murder children and then under oath say no innocents have been killed. Very fucking strange indeed.
