I've just spent a good part of this day being shown a wide collection of images shot both in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The images were shot my a friend who is a war photographer - a reputable one who is well-known for his coverage in Vietnam.
These pictures, least most of em, have not been released on the market and hell, I know they will not be, since they are too "inappropriate" for some!! (It was the same problem in the press rooms in Saigon).

I can't say I had EVER seen such an utterly disgusting pile of images in my life - these blow away *any* crap anyone can ever say was either an "excuse" to have any war or even fight in one (that applies to both "sides").

How any "leader" whoever they may be can undertake to send their own people into a war for little reason or some maniac decide to inflict damage on their own people is something beyond *any* rationality.

Now that I have seen some "truth" (that is no way in doubt in my mind now!!) .. when I hear the stupid element use phrases like "nuke em" - I'd love to dump them in the middle of a war and know what it is like.

I also have no doubts any leader who engages in an "illegal" war needs put on trial and dealt with "appropriately".

Sorry I can't publish these pics here - they are not mine to publish and will, least most of them, probably be published years ahead when it is "politically suitable" for history to be shown with some truth.

These images make a total mockery of anyone who considers it "appropriate" for, eg, the US to be anywhere near Iraq or Afghanistan - the cost, ignoring the nice spin on "values of freedom" blah, is too absurd! Some "leaders" need executing now for their part in this!!

This lot leaves me seething with anger and sadness for the victims!!

Peace out!!
