I was looking for the old black and white photos of stillborn and deformed babies
from the radiation exposure after bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Instead I found these photos:
Iraqi Birth Defects Worse than Hiroshima Dispatches from the Underclass
It just reminds me that from the viewpoint of innocent citizens suffering from
the wars and attacks of other people, this is as horrifying as the terrorist attacks we denounce.
Who knows how much of which deformities are caused by exposure to which chemical weapons.
Either way, it is clear the innocent civilians suffer the brunt of the warfare between the responsible factions.
Regardless which side it came from, these children suffer the consequences.
Wishing World Peace Day to all people of all nations rising up to the challenge of making the world a better place in the present and future, given the hard lessons we learn from the past. May the sacrifices of our Soldiers and Civilians who have died in these wars and their aftermath be remembered in ways that bring out the best in humanity as we strive to overcome the worst. My prayers to all, may all tribes and nations embrace one another as one society, one humanity, lifting each other up instead of bringing each other down. May good will prevail for all.
