"A Marine walks past a dead guerrilla fighter."

[A-Schwarzenegger]

Caption on a front page LA Times photograph.

If your country was occupied, would you be a "dead guerrilla fighter"
in a photo on the front page of a newspaper in the occupier's country,
your blood running down a muddy alley?

[DoYouEverWonder]

Hey don't you recognize freedom

and democracy when you see it?

[MallRat]

1. Hey, could've been worse. They could've called him a "terrorist."

:eyes:

2. I saw the pic on the front page too, and wondered the same thing.

3. the preferred nomenclature is "anti-iraqi forces"..

use liberally along with "homicide bomber".

[Ranec]

19. I heard a general talking about "anti-iraqi" forces

on the radio this morning. For a moment I didn't know which side he was talking about.

4. My paper said a dead "insurgent"

What I want to know is how do they know whether it was an insurgent, a terrorist or a guerrilla?

It very well could have been an innocent victim of U.S. aggression.

6. The democratizing liberators define the dead.

5. Why do you hate America? nt

[Tempest]

11. The real question is why do you?

Seems you have a problem with free speech and dissent, both protected by the Constitution.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. I trust vaB was being ironic.

Course I could be wrong for the first time.

[Tempest]

15. I don't put much trust

In someone with so few posts.

I checked out some of his other posts, and the jury is still out.

[Dookus]

7. my local paper

referred to him as a "dead insurgent".

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

8. He may be dead, but at least he's free!

:eyes:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. As are the ten (last I heard) Americans

who died to free him. Freedom's just another word for
dead.

[Tempest]

16. 15 last I heard

And the count is most likely much higher.

An Arab reporter in Fallujah said he saw 6 dead soldiers in the streets that the U.S. hadn't come for because of snipers and attacks.

[Buck Rabbit]

22. And his voted was counted

for George *, in Cleveland Ohio.

9. What would TM think?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

12. If you had read TM, you wouldn't have to ask.

[rockydem]

14. I want your opinion.

[Nordic]

17. here is the photo, 170K

I don't see a gun near this guy anywhere.

Wrong place, wrong time? Nobody will ever know.

He's one of thousands, I'm sure.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. Could be an alley here in Venice, CA.

[DrWeird]

20. How about "dead civilian?"

23. That Marine is fighting for your freedom

to live in a country where dissent is stifled.......
