Fallujah, a human tragedy and a politically motivated military blunder!

This humanitarian effort by those who have lost sons and daughters fighting Bush's war is America at its best!

The eye for an eye policies of the Bush administration has blackened Americas Image and is losing this, so called, war against terrorism. Wouldn't it be great if The Bush administration publicly supported this humanitarian program.

Peace

U.S. Families of Dead Raise 600,000 Dollars for Fallujah Refugees     Agence France Presse     Friday 24 December 2004     Los Angeles - Families of US troops killed in the offensive on the Iraqi city of Fallujah are to travel to Jordan next week with 600,000 dollars worth of humanitarian aid for refugees of the attack.     The November assault on Fallujah left 71 US military dead, according to the families, and the Iraqi government said more than 2,000 Iraqis were killed.     "This delegation is a way for me to express my sympathy and support for the Iraqi people," said Rosa Suarez of Escondido in California.     "The Iraq war took away my son's life, and it has taken away the lives of so many innocent Iraqis. It is time to stop the killing and to help the children of Iraq," she added in a statement released by the families.     The families said with peace groups, physicians' organisations and relatives of the September 11, 2001 attacks victims, they raised 100,000 dollars in an internet appeal. Humanitarian groups such as Middle East Children's Alliance and Operation USA contributed 500,000 dollars worth of medical supplies.     The families are to fly to Amman on December 26 and hand over the supplies to humanitarian and medical workers there.     -------   Jump to TO Features for Saturday December 25, 2004    Today's TO Features -------------- Powell Advised Bush to Add Iraq Troops Carol Giacomo | U.S. Living in 'Fantasy Land' over Iraq Intel.
