Suffering in Iraq & Tourism in Pakistan
Enoromous suffering of Iraqi
civilians
US General Petreaus lies to Congress
about "progress" in Iraq.
Meanwhile, the enoromous suffering of Iraqi
civilians remains one of the most censored
stories in America.
Everday, the war propaganda machine cranks
out stories about our heroic troops, some
of whom may indeed be heroes.
The story not being told is the daily heroism
of Iraqi women who risk their lives daily -
minus body armor and humvees - to provide
food, medical care and other social services
to the people there admist exteme chaos and
violence.
(It's a longish film (48:10) and it may take
time for it to stream entirely. If it is slow
or jerky, let it stream in its entirely and
then play it.)
