Some of the following images are more than uncomfortable and shocking to view.
We at Empire Burlesque are showing the painful images in order
to unveil the nature of war and it's real impact on human lives.
The war that the mainstream media will not show.
The war that the governments of the world who support
the brutal occupation of Iraq would rather you not see.
This collection over 600 images is intended to provide a window...
a montage of the human toll of war. George Bush wanted to eliminate journalists
by bombing al Jazeera headquarters in Qatar in an act against the freedom
of expression. Governments keep war hidden because it is hideous.
To allow people to see this reality -- the shattered bodies, the wounded children, the incomprehensible mayhem is to risk eroding popular support for it.
This is particularly true with wars that have less than overwhelming popular
support to begin with. In the case of Vietnam, battlefield images played
an important role in turning the tide of public opinion.
And in Iraq, a war whose official justification has turned out to be false,
and which a majority of the American people now believe to have been a mistake,
the administration would prefer that these grim images never be seen.
