On Memorial Day, let us salute those who gave their lives for the progress of the world.
But let us also not forget the many innocent people killed in wars throughout history, including all of the soldiers and civilians killed during this illegitimate war.
In Haditha, memories of a massacre
Witnesses to the slaying of 24 Iraqi civilians by U.S. Marines in the western town of Haditha say the Americans shot men, women and children at close range in retaliation for the death of a Marine lance corporal in a roadside bombing. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12998125/from/ET/
"The 24 Iraqi civilians killed on Nov. 19 included children and the women who were trying to shield them, witnesses told a Washington Post special correspondent in Haditha this week and U.S. investigators said in Washington. The girls killed inside Khafif's house were ages 14, 10, 5, 3 and 1, according to death certificates. "
