Artist's skin bears scars of Iraq bloodshed

Over four thousand American soldiers have been killed in Iraq since the military operation began in 2003. Baghdad claims that Iraqi civilians have suffered the worst, with more than 90,000 deaths recorded so far. While politicians play the blame game, some people are taking matters into their own hands. Waffa Bilal, an Iraqi-American artist whose brother died in Iraq, has repeatedly tattooed himself to draw attention to the casualties of war. On his body are marks for each dead Western soldier, and 100,000 dots representing Iraqi casualties.

@LeMegasandwich America has it's faults, just like ever other nation that exists and like ever nation that existed. But it has its pros as well. To say that we are the stupidest nation in the world is an insult to all the good things we have done. That dose not mean we haven't done stupid things, it just proves that the U.S.A. is run by humans that are fallible and make mistakes. We are not pure evil, no country is. Its actions now may be bad, but they don't represent the country as a whole.
