  • borez, on 05/26/2008, -38/+668And all for what?
  • fathermarlow, on 05/26/2008, -14/+515Words cannot suffice the sentiment and power of this picture.
  • inactive, on 05/26/2008, -251/+614These two pictures are priceless !!

    Words can't do justice to the emotions depicted in them. It's well said, "Only those really know how it feels, who go through tragedy, pain and sufferings in their lives, an on looker or outside can't feel it the same way".

    It almost made me cry, seeing how the two brothers are crying for each other in the first picture; knowing that they wont be able to see each other again, knowing that they wont be able to hold each other again, knowing that they wont be able to talk with each other again, knowing that this is the moment that will never ever ever come back.

    I ask one simple question, how many more precious lives do we have to give , how many sons, brothers, husbands, fathers,wives, daughters and sisters do we have to take away for a useless war which has given us nothing but pain.

    You be the judge, i rest my case.
  • hankidic, on 05/26/2008, -35/+357This is the legacy of the Bush administration.
  • Bots, on 05/26/2008, -13/+324more expensive gas prices and a ***** economy
  • RootsRockReggae, on 05/26/2008, -28/+247The rest of the (developed) world is looking at the current U.S. government and asking "Who the hell voted these war-mongerers in a second term?"

    Please don't vote McCain into power... learn from your mistakes.
  • chkdg8, on 05/26/2008, -33/+249This is an old picture but every time I see it, it really gets to me. Man, they're just sending babies off to war.
  • depro9, on 05/26/2008, -23/+204So when is the Bush gang going to face charges for these war crimes?
  • PhQnix, on 05/26/2008, -10/+142They chose to defend their country, they didn't choose to defend the interests of the wealthy and powerful.
  • RedMoonGenie, on 05/26/2008, -9/+140Oh snap. Can you believe this douchebag we have in the whitehouse?
  • baylat, on 05/26/2008, -60/+181We must not forget that the men and women who died in the war are heroes.
  • twiztidsinz, on 05/26/2008, -3/+115But at least the ones worth fighting for are worth dying for.
    This is neither worth fighting for nor dying for.
  • FeargusMcDuff, on 05/26/2008, -0/+109War is hell.
  • Vinsher, on 05/26/2008, -7/+114RIP Steve's Brother. Let us never forget your sacrifice
  • GGIII, on 05/26/2008, -11/+117I cannot possibly dig you up enough.
  • gravityboard, on 05/26/2008, -5/+110These are beautiful and terrible images. I have goosebumps.
  • fr3ddie, on 05/26/2008, -15/+117***** war sucks.
  • pakakapa, on 05/26/2008, -26/+120***** bush apologists
  • raydeen, on 05/26/2008, -5/+96I long for the day when two or more nations go to war, we, the people of those nations, take our war loving leaders and put them in a 'Thunderdome'. Last leader standing wins the 'war'. And then we eat him.
  • stinkipete, on 05/26/2008, -13/+94i prefer shaven.
  • crywolf, on 05/26/2008, -21/+93This picture made me cry...this war is tearing people apart, stop it. Now.
  • justinmorley, on 05/26/2008, -16/+86This is not war, this is murder on the American middle and lower class by the Bush Administration, because God knows no wealthy person is being sent over to Iraq.
  • SuminderJi, on 05/26/2008, -13/+76hate all wars, hate all wars, hate all wars.
  • Soulbow2, on 05/26/2008, -8/+67I'm sending this to President Bush.
    EDIT: Actually, I'm hearing him speak this weekend, I'll get him to sign an autograph on it.
  • Morghin, on 05/26/2008, -7/+66Just this war... ?
  • Oddish, on 05/26/2008, -25/+75"Priceless" is not the word I would use, and definitely not with exclamation points.
  • smotpoker, on 05/26/2008, -6/+51If you really hated being a dick, you wouldn't make such snide comments at the expense of others' suffering.
  • Wakuko, on 05/26/2008, -6/+46Dick Cheney's bigger ranch.
    Jenna Bush spectacular wedding.
    Halliburton's CEO new beach condo in Monaco.

    and the list goes on and on and on...

    Wait, you were expecting freedom, liberties and justice?
  • jumico, on 05/26/2008, -2/+40No soup for you
  • chordmasta, on 05/26/2008, -13/+49WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a major victory for the White House, the Senate early Friday voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions.

    Typical Digger.
  • reyoo30309, on 05/26/2008, -19/+55Dude, this is the reality of all war. Ones worth fighting and ones not so worth it.
  • marx2k, on 05/26/2008, -0/+36ninjacob, the Iraqis are not Nazis.
  • dbbblondon, on 05/26/2008, -1/+36you have so missed the point here it's unreal
  • ds|tan, on 05/26/2008, -8/+44A picture paints a thousand words, these two make an encyclopedia of emotions.
  • farmie, on 05/26/2008, -5/+38Gave me goose bumps...
  • TheMime, on 05/26/2008, -3/+35"A single death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."
    -Stalin
  • yosserhughes, on 05/26/2008, -1/+33"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it,
    he is obligated to do so."

    Thomas Jefferson
  • Akronos, on 05/26/2008, -0/+32Well, apparently ninjacob would have been on the side of the Nazis since pre-emptively invading third world nations who did no harm to the aggressor nation is how he rolls.
  • davidbond, on 05/26/2008, -7/+38You can't say that. If it's heroic to get killed in an armed struggle, then suicide bombers are heroes.

    OH - you mean they got killed and they're on YOUR side. Ah - I see.
  • Enendar, on 05/26/2008, -1/+32Bring a friend with a camera and post a digg story letting us know how that goes.
  • smotpoker, on 05/26/2008, -34/+65Depends on your definition of "hero".

    If you cannot prove they actually saved someone, and caused substantially more good than harm, your classification is inaccurate and you are nearly as deluded by our government and media as the poor fools coming home maimed or in caskets.

    Predominantly well-intentioned perhaps. Not likely a whole lot are actual heroes in my book.
  • housewarmer, on 05/26/2008, -0/+30ninjacob -

    Really?! Your analogy is even weaker because in this case WE were the aggressors invading a sovereign nation for economic reasons.
  • spamspanker123, on 05/26/2008, -7/+38Neither will Steve's brother.
  • RedMoonGenie, on 05/26/2008, -1/+31Ladies and Gentleman, the only fan of President Bush on the planet.
  • inactive, on 05/26/2008, -14/+44Why can't the Israelis fight their own damn war.
  • iPirate, on 05/26/2008, -6/+33What do you know... another MrBabyMan dupe:
