Guernica Iraq
Uploaded by: Chewbacca2000
Video Description:
"Guernica" was painted by Picasso in 1937. It depicts the senseless massacre by the Nazi Luftwaffe in the Basque city of Guernica, Spain. The attack was ordered at the behest of fascist Spanish General, Francisco Franco, during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica was a non-military target, the innocent people of the town were attacked in an attempt to psychologically break the will of those who opposed Franco's fascistic nationalist pursuit.
Picasso captured an intense scene reflecting the deeply unjust suffering,
agony and despair experienced by the people of Guernica. And in doing so he produced one of the most iconic, powerful and affecting pieces of anti-war
artwork ever put to canvas. It is little surprise then that a reproduction of the painting, which hangs outside the entrance to the UN Security Council, was covered while Colin Powell was attempting to sell the Iraq War to the world.
The people of Iraq are suffering what amounts to the similar unjust brutality inflicted on the people of Guernica, except it's practically on a daily basis. A more accurate comparison would be to imagine having the London Tube and Bus bombings everyday. And have them happen so often that they become a predictable daily occurrence and part of life.

You need to realize that man will AWLWAYS try to conquer others. Its been repeated through out history.
maybe we should come home and deal with those who who allowed us tobe sent on our merry adventures and then stab us in the back
now that would be the best tribute too freinds lost
most porbably another country who is setting up our country, and was around long long before the United States was founded and is being controlled and manipulated from a distance. Only a proud fool would make himself known to his enemies. Only one thing is certain.. history tells us who. Its like recognizing a tree by its fruits. It'll be connected to the fig tree of promises but not following through.
Tradition is the biggest mask known to man. To assumen what you're taught is truth instead of what you see.
When you're called free, but work 80 hours a week, I would hardly call myself free. You had better start seeing the truth or life will be robbed from you over and over again. You have a mind, use it...
