Here in Europe we´ve seen pictures of G.I.s held in custody by the iraq all day long. Exept the american tv-stations the al jasira made pictures (who know´s how to spell) are broadcasted everywhere. It´s obvious to see, that the soldiers fear for death, wich is really a more than natural reaction for any human being. And I can´t stress saying, that I feel with´em as far as it is possible thousands of kilometers away from Bagdad. But I also feel so much anger about Bush and Rumsfeld, managing to suppress those videos in the U.S., saying it´s against the convention of geneva to show pictures of p.o.w.´s. Are´nt we all seeing pictures of iraqi soldiers getting arrested all day long?? And what about Bush´s more than disscussable decisions against the UN-majority? I think you (americans) have the right to see war as it is like. Full of fear, pain and cruelties for EVERYONE who is taking part and even worse, who is unable to get out of it´s way (thinking of the civilians). I´m sorry, but everyone who does believe in those pervert comparisons between surgical operations and war is a stupid coward that likes to see the world as simple as the american government makes them believe. It might be a european feeling, but I can´t feel proud, I feel ashamed and deeply depressed about the way things go rightnow. Try to do what you personally can do about that unhonest thing´s going on in your country. I´ve been in the states and I know that many of you guy´s are really brave and still able to think without governmental help. All the best from Germany. Alex
