Sending photos to ordinary Iraqi's

[Cowperson]

What is your opinion of this, about 2000 anti-war activists, including the parent of a slain hostage, are sending photos of life in America to to ordinary Iraqi's with banners such as:

“With deep shame, we apologize for the suffering our country has brought to the people of Iraq,” says a banner in a photo showing 11 people in Vancouver, Wash.

The purpose of the photo's is to counter the impact of the abu Ghraib prison photographs and the invasion.

Veterans Affairs officials view it in a different light:

Jerry Newberry, spokesman for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said, “This type of thing only serves to undermine the effort and the sacrifice of our military in Iraq. These people on the face of it seem to have a political agenda. ... It implies that what we’re attempting to do in Iraq is shameful.”

Is this Jane Fonda going to Hanoi all over again? Or fair protest? How will it be perceived.

If pro-war people can send soldiers and bombs to Iraq, I see no problem with anti-war people sending photos. Guns and bombs disrupt the peace process more than photos could ever disrupt the war process.

Or do only pro-war people deserve an opinion?

Their choice, but the question is if there is actually a point of it? The people of Iraq are better off regardless of what the photos can do.
