Sons of Iraq (The Sahva)


This boy, only 13 years old, has already killed 8 Al Qaida members. He does not know that children his age go to school and cry when they fall because he never went to school or had somebody who held him when he cried. Just 20 m away, American soldiers who tell him to be brave and to go on killing. This is life, at least in southern Baghdad. Even I get used to these pictures.

It's really sad to see children holding weapons. It's sad that the mainstream media is not interested in their stories. And it's sooo annoying that we only report on the suicide bombings, we count the American soldiers killed in these bombings, while nobody cares about the people who become statistics. So way to go. I hope I'll see the true side of the story here, on your blog.
