Array ( [sid] => 137772 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => DEAD IN THE HEAD: BLACK-CLAD FASCISTS IN IRAQ [time] => 2007-10-11 04:41:03 [hometext] => [bodytext] => 2 Iraqi women killed in car by private guards
USA Today - October 10, 2007

Private body guards shot and killed two Iraqi women in Baghdad today when their car rolled toward the rear of a security convoy working for a North Carolina-based non-profit group. Two children in the back seat survived unharmed, according to news reports.

The Iraqi government said Dubai-based Unity Resources Group was responsible. The firm has operated in Iraq since 2004 and employs security personnel from the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.


O//

How long will the Iraqis tolerate this?
These trigger-happy fascists in their midst

Why should these hired guns be allowed
to ride rough-shod on Iraqis, keeping them cowed?

Who gave them the right to decide on life and death
to deal out slaughter with fetid breath?

These death-metal freaks with stone cold souls
are black-clad fascists and skinhead a-holes

They are the symbol now of the failed Bush regime,
dealing death then spouting some lying stream

A destructive force, all conscience shed
with all pity or reason, dead in the head

Damn good to read you, man. Tough as nails subject matter. I am so sick of my government and their constant need to kill. This whole flipping world seems to be a killing machine. It is a sickness, this need to control and kill....a wretched sickness.
Peace to those who die so needlessly every day.
Thanks for sharing, good to see you around.
Peace,
Laura

You must feel happy that you have the freedom to write this my friend, there are places in the world that you would topped and your family left with the bill of the bullet for doing so. As always I enjoy your work. Remember, Freedom is not free.

It's been a long time Steeleyes. This poem I do agree with, well written on a tough subject. We've had our spats in the past, but killing non-combants is not right, so bravo, well done.
