CNN Hypocrisy

I am angry with CNN who portray the poor little Iraqi boy with the burned face as he moves through the airport to come to America to be operated on, his face to be restored before his attack. Although, I am happy for him, I think of the millions of Iraqi children who have suffered at the hands of Americans directly and indirectly for our ill thought-out war. How many others are maimed, dead, or have lost parents, their education, their youth?

Under 1000 of the million Iraqi refuges are allowed into the US. We rescue on little boy and leave millions stranded (including those who have worked for us directly) or left to flea to Jordan or Syria.

Meanwhile watchers of the program can feel good about how kind America is to “fix” a child and forget the guilt on the millions of anonymous faces we have destroyed with the help of CNN and its bias reporting on the run up to the war with its patriotic music and Operation Iraqi freedom banners
