Remember All the Children, Mr. President
By Bill Quigley
December 17, 2012
Remember the 20 children who died in Newtown, Connecticut.
Remember the 35 children who died in Gaza this month from Israeli bombardments.
Remember the 168 children who have been killed by US drone attacks in Pakistan since 2006.
Remember the 231 children killed in Afghanistan in the first 6 months of this year.
Remember the 400 other children in the US under the age of 15 who die from gunshot wounds each year.
Remember the 921 children killed by US air strikes against insurgents in Iraq.
Remember the 1,770 US children who die each year from child abuse and maltreatment.
Remember the 16,000 children who die each day around the world from hunger.
These tragedies must end.

my hearts can not stop bleeding of late, i was thinking of gathering all the children’s names that have been murdered in Syria to date … had huge blowout with some western friends on my level of anger over this, what can i say i am not proud or righteous, i am human … and if it effects me this way think of the actual victims

i was wondering the other day,how many pets have been killed in the name of “democracy” ? did they suffer? did their torture last? we [almost] know how many kids.. i am so enraged for the defenseless victims the vulnerable categories are children and animals the unsuspected ones,i dont see a reason for all that to happen, i really feel sick whenever i post stuff like that
