There comes a time when the
death and destruction is so expansive, and the injustice in the air so thick, that to remain silent is to breathe in the fruits of oppression and betray the Truth that gives us life.
Car bombs - one detonated by a suicide attacker - and mortar rounds ripped apart two markets Sunday in a Shiite slum in Baghdad, killing at least 41 people and wounding 140. The carnage came after Iraqi politicians decided to move up the date to convene parliament, an indication of resolve to form a unity government.
Angry residents kicked the head of the suicide bomber, apparently an African, as it lay in the street of al-Hay market in the east Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City. Others raced to and fro to collect charred corpses from among burning vehicles and shops, many firing Kalashnikov rifles into the air.
When will you
speak out against this madness? When will you fight back?
Take steps today to break away from the WAR machine. Because if you are not against it, then you are part of it.
You cannot stay neutral. You cannot ride the fence.
You must decide what you stand for, love or greed.
It's now or never. People are dying. Tomorrow it will be us.
