dit doet my heel erg denken aan een amerikaanse pro-oorlog/patriotische film. genaamd 'rules of engagement'?
iemand die gezien toevallig?
hierin beschieten amerikanen ook een menigte die demonstreert voor de ambassade in een arabisch land, en er vallen vele doden, waaronder kinderen. Een officier moet het uit gaan zoeken..en aan het einde blijkt dat de kinderen ook liepen te schieten, en het dus gerechtvaardigd
was dat de soldaten op de menigte schoten..
dit lijkt er echt heeeeeel erg veel op..eng zelfs

"We were at the market place near the government building" said Marwan Mohammed, 50. "As for the Americans, they were going through the crowd with their flag. They placed themselves between the civilians and the building. The people moved toward the government building, the children threw stones, the Americans started firing. Then they prevented the people from recovering the bodies."
(...)
"They (the soldiers) climbed on top of the building and first fired at a building near the crowd, with the glass falling on the civilians. People started to throw stones, then the Americans fired at them," Hassun said.
(...)
According to a third witness, Abdulrahman Ali, a 49-year-old labourer, the American soldiers opened fire when they saw the crowd running at the government building.

US Marines Kill Iraqi Protesters, Other Iraqis Endure New Freedom to Obey Occupying Army U.S.A. Lie of the Week: "Today should be always remembered as a day where Iraqis expressed different opinions and weren't shot for it." - Ari Fleischer 4/15/2003
On April 15th seventeen Iraqis were killed and nearly sixty wounded by US Marines for protesting the US occupation of their home. US soldiers opened fire on a protest in Mosul that happened in response to a speech by US puppet leader Mashaan al-Juburi. To further silence any opposition, the US then buzzed the town with F-14s, reminding people of the devastating bombings that have killed thousands of Iraqi civilians since the US's forced "liberation" began. Additional protests took place across Iraq as the fabricated media spectacle of joyous Iraqis collides with reality.
Protests Erupt Throughout Iraq, World Against USA
"This is no freedom" chanted protesters in Baghdad as armed US occupation forces watched with guns ready. In Nasiriyah, 20,000 Iraqis poured into the streets to protest the US takeover of their home. Corporate media bias was exposed after images of 40-50 anti-Saddam Iraqis were glorified for days -- and yet, there has been almost no mention of anti-US protests which were easily one hundred times as large. In the past few days, protests have taken place in San Francisco, Rome, Brazil, Athens, South Korea, Jakarta, Kiev, Manila, Washington DC, Sydney, Istanbul, Caracas and Mexico City. In addition, a call has been made for a Global Anti-Imperialist League to unite the people of the world against the US government, the European governments, and any Arab government which would allow US profit thugs to rape and destroy the world.

As the invading coalition moves to install some very unsavoury characters to do its bidding in Iraq, the people of the country begin to express their objections. However, several shooting incidents including the mass killing in Mosul shows that their "liberation" has very strict bounds.
