How quickly they forget

So much for "never forget." (The Massgraves: Victims of Saddam's Regime photos)

"I am so furious I can barely type. I cannot put into words the rage I feel," writes Varifrank:

The US Media, the Democrat Party, The Kerry campaign, The EU and the UN will stop at nothing to tell you tales about how the evil Bush administration has screwed up Iraq, leaving you with a context of lies that Iraq was a quiet little thrid world paradise until we got there and messed it up for everyone.

They will never tell you the other part of the story, the story of the Iraqi holocaust. It's like telling the story of World War II and just "forgetting" to tell the story of the Jewish holocaust because you dont want to offend anyone's sensibilities. You can't understand one without the context of the other. To tell one story without the other is not only irresponsible, it is at its core racist.

What we liberated in Iraq was every bit as bad as the horrors of Nazi Germany. Any reasoning we had for invading was made moot by the discovery of the first "Childrens Prison" on the 4th day of the Invasion. We may not have gone in for that reason, but once we discovered them, and the mass graves, nothing else mattered.

We can never forget the horror tale of the husband forced to watch his pregnant wife repeatedly raped by Saddam's thugs until she lost their baby, nor the skeletons recently unearthed of unborn babies and toddlers clutching toys. Listen to the words of Varifrank as he introduces a sampling of The Massgraves: Victims of Saddam's Regime:

The pictures that follow aren't Hollywood, they are real. All too real I am afraid. And shame on us all for forgetting the cost they paid before we finally put a stop to it.

I want you to look. Take a deep,long look. These are not cartoons, or Speilbergian Special Effects. These are people. Fellow human beings every bit as deserving of our care as the haunting souls who walked out of the gates of Dachau.

While looking at each of the pictures that follow, for each of the bodies you see, say quietly to yourself, "father, mother, brother, sister, cousin, uncle, aunt". Repeat this process 300,000 times.

Apparently the world's liberals are completely unable to face reality. The males are all "girly men". The reality of human depravity and the extreme cruelty such ias s practiced by Saddam and applauded by most off the world's dictators and would-be rulers of other peoples' lives is beyond their ability to believe. If the likes of Kerry becomes President the chances look good for their world of sophisticated niceness to disappear, and they will experience first hand the joys of being ruled by those who will stand for no dissent.

Yes. As I always say, the denial of "life's dark side in ourselves" is the key to what's wrong with the utopianist left world view.

I'm having second thoughts on that "Dear Cindy" letter suggestion.

Imagine the Crawford Peace House flooded with mail. What would the "mainstream" media report?

Sissy, enjoying your blog. I stumbled across it yesterday from a comment you left elsewhere. One of these days I'll get around to doing a blogroll (I tend to procrastinate on formatting issues), but I'll certainly have yours on the list.

Until then, I'll just stumble in from time to time.
