ANTI-WAR SPEAKOUT
13th anniversary of the bombing of civilian shelter in iraq
February 14th, Saturday 1:30PM
Software Engineering Institute (SEI)
The bombing of the Ameriyah civilian in suburban Baghdad F117A's streak
across the iraqi skies at 5.20am feb. 12, 1991. Laser guided bombs lock on
(similar to guidance systems CMU's software engineering institute is
developing). Fire one. Fire two. Bomb one hits Ameriyah shelter, smashes
thru ten feet of concrete and steel. Precisely, it explodes milliseconds
after penetrating the shelter. The shelter is wide open with 325 women and
children and elderly screaming. Seconds pass in front of peoples eyes when
bomb two arrives on time. White light, white heat. Bomb two is an
incendiary bomb, designed to cre-mate the target. 317 bodies burn for
seven hours, as the workers attempt to open the doors that are welded
shut. Out of desperation, the doors are blown open with dynamite. There
are 7 survivors. (Tatsu Ikeda)

Inhumanity to Man, when will it end?

I was taught to kill before I was sent to Korea; I stood at "ground zero" in Hiroshima in '53 where I observed a flat city that remained after we incinerated thousands of innocent civilians (while "testing" our first nuclear bomb); I visited Amariyah shelter in Baghdad, Iraq in February 2003 where we incinerated hundreds of women, children and elderly (while "testing" our latest DR warhead bomb); I protested against our pending invasion of Iraq; observed "shock and awe" against the citizens of Baghdad (brothers & sisters living in the weakest nation in the Middle East); I patiently waited for the majority of my fellow U. S.citizens to begin to realize that our so called "National interest" is NOT the well-being of mankind but the prolonging of the inhuman wealth of the "few" among us at the expense of the growing numbers of victims all over this land. (And that too!)
