To anyone who may suggest that I should be focussing my attention on the brave young Military Personnel who have lost their lives in Iraq... I say this...
Whilst I do very much 'sympathise' with the loved-ones of those who have died... this video is not about how America is 'God's Saving Grace to Planet Earth' !

As a very proud Ex-Service Member of Australia's Defence Force, I have the utmost respect for Military Personnel who dedicate their lives to the Service of their Country. What I 'despise' however, is seeing the lives of those brave young Personnel being thrown away... particularly when millions of innocent lives are being jeopardized in the process !!!

George W. Bush's (so called) 'War On Terror' has so far resulted in more than 4,000 brave young Military Personnel being killed... with 'tens of thousands' being injured... many seriously.
I have a place in my heart for each and every one of them... and to the families of those who lost their lives... I share your grief, and you are in my prayers !

The 'People of Iraq' are no less worthy of my concern... and if 'focusing this and other videos on their suffering' will help draw attention to what is happening to them... and hopefully, bring an end to their suffering... I will continue to produce further videos toward that goal.

I seek a world where people can live in peace and harmony with each other... and to that end, I will not hesitate to highlight instances where the use of Military Personnel is not in the best interest of 'A Peaceful World' !

The continued presence of US Military Personnel in Iraq is not in the best interest of the Iraqi People... Nor is their continued presence in Afghanistan, in the best interest of Peace !

If US Military Personnel must participate in George W. Bush's 'War On Terror'... let them be deployed to Palestine, where they can help defend the true victims of Terrorism against the atrocities of (US Supported) Israel... for there is where the crux of the problem lays !

The use of US Military Personnel to halt the bulldozing of Palestinian homes, and the stealing of Palestinian land... together with encouraging the return of Occupied Territories to their rightful owners... is the surest way of bringing an end to the 'War On Terror' !!!

To the People of Iraq... you are very much in my heart and in my prayers.
For the role that my Country (Australia) played in the Invasion of your Country... I am so very deeply sorry !!!


To the best of my knowledge... all of the photos used in this video were taken during the first nine months of 2008... More than five years after President George W. Bush promised the Iraqi People 'their Freedom and Democracy' !
My appreciation is extended to dancewater for bringing all the photos together in the one location...

Music in this video is a remix of the John Farnham & Human Nature song... Every time you cry !

  • Great video but the music selection seems terribly inappropriate for this topic....

  • --- Brave iRAQI people I hope Russian Federation and ChinA go to war with USA and I hope you get liberated ...

  • Thank you for showing the reality of war.

    Americans think of the soldiers going off

    to fight and die in foreign lands,

    which is certainly bad enough!

    But we cannot imagine the horror and hell

    of war in our own streets and homes.

    Until this reality sinks in

    we will continue to be mass murderers.
