Now it's the fish.
This is what the world -- led by the United States government -- has brought to Iraq. Never-ending war. One problem after another. Chaos and disorder.
As appalling as the above images are, a question.
The fish died for some reason. If that reason should turn out to be due to the US government's use of White Phosphorus or depleted uranium, or any other weapon, do you think the average American would be more or less outraged?
The war has to end.
It cannot go on forever.
But it's going to require people calling for an end to it.
Now it's the fish.
What's next in line as the war drags on?
