How many dead in Iraq?
Street art 1000 dead in Iraq.
This art bothered me becuase it seems that only focusing on the Americans dead is not correct. I much prefer this woman's way of getting the point across.
"On three dozen white cardboard panels, a 29-year-old Berkeley woman who lives in a house there is printing the names of every person killed in the Iraq war."
Notice how it says every person not just the Americans...
So you will notice that the number killed is much larger than 1000 in fact it is 12 times larger than that...
"In all, there are more than 12,000 reminders of those killed since the war started in March 2003. Some are names of U.S. soldiers. Some are names of foreign nationals. And others are place holders for un-identified slain Iraqi civilians."
There must be a lot of those with so many people being blown to bits with those "precision bombs" Hard to indentify a thousand bloody body parts scattered down the street.
So how did she get the idea?
"She said she was inspired to post the names after ABC's "Nightline" read the names and showed the faces of American soldiers killed in Iraq."
I wonder if she had the same thoughts as I did above about how we should care about all of the bodies being turned into bloody bits not just the American ones!
Now here's the scary part...
"That recital of names (of American's dead in Iraq) was criticized by some conservatives as anti-war, and a media group with links to the White House barred its ABC affiliates from airing the program, according to published reports. "
The white house has it's slimy tentacles deeply inserted into it's garish skinny whore, the media. Could they be any more obvious with the propaganda and censorship?
So what did our artist friend in Beserkley have to say about that?
"I thought that was really weird, that people would be upset about acknowledging people ... all these people are human beings,"
She really sounds like someone I would like to hug!
So how is the war coming along in Iraq anyway?
"On Wednesday, she added two names from the Bay Area. Cpl. Aaron Boyles, 24, who went to high school in Newark and worked in Union City, and Cpl. Mick Bekowsky, 21, of Concord, were added to the cardboard panels positioned on a fence at 2231 Ashby Ave., right off Telegraph Avenue."
I see...same old, same old...
Note to any photoblogger reading this in Berkely, please oh please can you get us a photo of this amazing artwork the woman who would not give her name has put up?
