A wounded Georgian woman lies in front of an apartment building, damaged by a Russian air strike, in the northern Georgian town of Gori, on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2008. Fighting raged in breakaway South Ossetia for a second day Saturday as Russia sent hundreds of troops into the separatist province, threatening to bomb more Georgian military bases to stop the bloodshed Moscow said has claimed 1,500 lives. Georgia, a staunch U.S. ally, launched a major offensive Friday to retake control of separatist South Ossetia. Russia, which has close ties to the province and posts peacekeepers there to protect citizens with Russian citizenship, responded by sending in armed convoys. (AP Photo/George Abdaladze)

I have to wonder if these photogs are just running around among the wounded taking pictures of them crying/begging for help.

I’m not trying to be ugly but posting a pic of that poor injured women is propaganda.

Any air or surface ordnance is likley to impact civilians and our own history is replete with such.....arguably more than anyone other delivery apparatus in history.

War is indeed Hell and regrettably the most innocent are often the most defenseless and suffer the most whole grown men duke it out.....doesn’t matter if it’s chariots and spears or TU-95s, it’s still the slaughter of the innocents frequently and everyone has some of that blood on their hands.

Folks have to justify it in their minds and will prevails. That will and self preservation and might have always determined history.

I have read several captions from this picture and no one has pointed out that she is lying on top of another dead body.
