A mosque employee prepares the body of Lamiamh Ali, 6. Four siblings were playing outside their home in Baghdad when a U.S. cluster bomb exploded. Two of the children died that day and their brother died later as a result of his injuries.
Listen to a 13 year old child, Severm Suzuki from Vancouver, Canada, plead to the United nations for the future of her generation ~ which is being destroyed by man's inhumanity and shortsighted greed.
One in eight Iraqi children, like Lamiamh Ali, died of disease or violence before reaching their fifth birthday in 2005, according to the report by Save the Children, which said Iraq ranked last worldwide ~ because it had made the least progress toward improving child survival rates. ( How can they during an illegal and bloody occupation ) http://snipurl.com/1jud2
Listen and see if Servum's words resonates with a child within yourself who wants the same thing.
Listen and take action.
