The death toll for Iraqi men, women and children in June was 5,456 the worst since the U.S. war. http://news.antiwar.com/2014/06/30/5456-killed-across-iraq-in-june/
In the face of all this death and destruction, the demand from the Iraq government is for more death and destruction as it cries out for more weaponry and military support from the U.S., Iran and to anyone else who may provide it.
Peace is not an option, a cease fire and talks are not an option, just more bloodshed to keep this failed government in power.
Iraq is an excellent example of war leading to more war in an endless cycle of religious fervor, ego driven desire for power and control over oil resources.
The Iraqi people are caught in the middle of this horror show and are desperate for voices of reason to arise, for no-one should be living as they do.
You and I can recognize our oneness with Iraq's men, women and children as our brethren and pray for them. And we can contribute to charities that support them with medical care and other services as a matter of compassion and conscience. To see a list of charities, please Google "Iraqi Charities."
For you see, you and I really can make a difference.
