US Marine Kills Unarmed IraqiWritten by Gary R. Hess
Recent photos from NBC showed a US Marine shooting and killing an unarmed man in Falluja on November 13th. The US Marine had reported to be shot in face night before, but was able to continue fighting until siege was over.The action is now under investigation, however fellow marines state they would have done same under circumstances. Q: Does this mean his action was justified? A: No. Under no circumstance should an unarmed man be killed, even in battle. If he possessed any threat towards Marine then possible action should have been taken, but since he didn’t this is an outrage and Marine should be dealt a court-martial and sometime in military prison. Q: Is this how supposed best military in world acts towards situations under high stress? A: As far as we know US Military has done a good job for most part, but in situations like Abu Ghurayb and this case should be an indication that something is wrong with US military system.

“We need to abolish advertising for public positions and all parties and lobbies or any corruption that comes from it. I want a penalty of four times usual and an exclusion from any important job to go along with it in any case of willful corruption. I also want to discuss kind of thing Porto Allegre has done in Brazil. We can enable all citizens who take time to educate themselves to vote on important decisions at city and state level.” Sean said. “That is naïve to say least.” De Vere smiled at Sean as he said it. “But tell us how that might work. I have been amazed at some of your approaches and I have seen them work so I will hold off judging you this time.” “I am naïve to be sure. I am almost an innocent and I have been victimized or seen my fellow man victimized too much to continue to try to be anything but innocent and naïve. In fact I like being innocent and I hope to make everyone strive for sense of righteous innocence so that we will never again have such a monstrous and terrible catastrophe as we are still in throes of. My innocence extends to thinking that all people are capable of more than bureaucrats and our Synarchistic leaders have allowed them to do and be. Indeed question posed by William Shakespeare is appropriate. Are we really will to ‘Be’ and allow others right and opportunity ‘To Be’?
