As the article points out, they had the same problem in Afghanistan and changed the colour of the the food packets. Why have they gone back to using the yellow colour in Iraq? Did they think the Iraqis wouldn't make the same mistake as the Afghanis? Posted by: Alan on April 3, 2003 03:04 AM
c'mon people. everybody knows that the rich white people want to kill all of the non-whites. this is intentional. the smaller the native population around any source of natural resource, in this case oil and the fresh waters of the Tigris & Euphrates, the easier it is for an outside power to control it. if you let the people live they might get the idea that they should benefit from it. so you try to kill them, whether it's through genocidal sanctions, anti-personnel cluster bombs in population centers, or rendering the land unfit for living for the rest of time (or at least the next 4.5 billion years) by using artillery containing uranium and depleted-uranium. would you expect anything less from white male capitalists? this is not new. of course not enough people are aware of it, thanks to the control of actual information that gets out, so it's always good to see the light bulb come on in some peoples heads as they wake up from the dark slumber of artificial reality.

Make the comparison. Humanitarian Daily Ration and BLU-97 bomblet. Posted by: Francis Wu on April 3, 2003 11:18 AM
to the posted calling themself "reality" - You are right. I'm a white male capitalist. You have cracked the code! We WMC's have secret meetings, and have decided that killing all the non-whites, strating in Iraq, and stealing the precious waters of the Tigris and Euphates rivers is the top project for 1Q2003. How ever did you figure out our plan? Drat! We are revealed! Gnash! Gnash! Posted by: on April 3, 2003 01:42 PM
of course you realize that it doesn't make any difference what _we_ think of that image comparison... and to the moron who thinks himself clever, yours is the mind that kills Posted by: on April 3, 2003 04:03 PM
How about taking the explosives out of the bomblets, and replacing them with twinkies? Posted by: Mac - People Stop Wars on April 4, 2003 02:37 AM
The last thing we need is kids stumbling across intact twinkies 50 years from now.
