"humanitarian solidarity".

Fat chance.

It's so unfair. All of it.

Yes. Silent, but powerless.

OMG that is heartbreaking.
I wonder if people in the west realise just how lucky we are to live in the west. I know it isn't all good, but we are so fortunate.
As Jingle says, evil is triumphing.
I found that video truly disturbing.

It's a devastating time for the Yadizi and humanitarian aid is urgently needed.
Iraq needs to sort this out and determine their own destiny and aid needs to come from the UN. I wonder who will provide safe passage for these desperate people?

What a terrible thing. So much for the west's intervention in Iraq and the bringing of "democracy".

From the reaction of the men it doesn't look as if anything will be done!
