Denial is so much easier than this

Report from Fallujah. Says here:
I need another heart and eyes to bear it because my own are not enough to bear what I saw. Nothing justifies what was done to this city. I didn't see a house or mosque that wasn't destroyed.
*snip*

Rather than burying full bodies, residents of Fallujah are burying legs and
arms, and sometimes just skeletons as dogs had eaten the rest of the body.
*snip*

The Americans didn't let us in the places where everyone said there was napalm used . . . nobody is allowed to go there.
*snip*

You know, it is only getting worse here. Every day is worse than the last day. Today will be better than tomorrow. Right now is better than the next hour. This is our life in Iraq now.

I think what you need sometimes is no ears, no eyes, no heart.

It isn't cowardice, it is just a survival need.

This:

"I didn't see a house or mosque that wasn't destroyed."

Is the sort of ridiculous generalization that defeats itself. Watch any report on the city, you'll see most of the buildings aren't destroyed.

Truth, Mr. Isen. It does exist.

Your pal, James
