Truthdig Slide Show: Four Years of War

Last week the Iraq war entered its fifth year. We mark the occasion by revisiting striking moments from March 19, 2003, onward. It would be impossible for one slide show to capture every iconic frame or ghastly scene. Still, these images remind us that little has changed in the years since George Bush stood before a banner reading “Mission Accomplished.”

Nice little timeline, but no heart.

To feel what it’s like in Iraq check out these two animations:

I’m sorry, but your polished little slide shows just don’t do anything for me. Why not publish some hard hitting stuff, like people dieing in action as shown on YouTube or Al-Jazeera, and try to actually affect people, instead of this sanitized bullshit. It’s our war, let us have it—that’s Al-Jazerra’s attitude and it makes good sense.
