Comments on: Iraq's Burn Unit Working Miracles

Tough Volunteers At Military Base Have Helped Heal At Least 1,000 Iraqi Children

I think this clinic is a wonderful thing to have in place. To see those children in so much pain breaks my heart. I''m thankful our soldiers are there to help. My husband is in Scania currently and has spent a lot of time in the clinic. He can''t be here with our children, but he treats those as if they were his own. I''m very proud of him and all of the other soldiers there. Keep up the good work guys!!

Wow, as I enter my 30th month here in Iraq away from my family I am somewhat disipointed by my fellow Americans who sit in comfort and safety denouning what they do not have the courage to do Themselves. Most probly would''nt help someone who was being hurt for fear of there own safety and belittle those who do
None of the children here are hurt by the Military action most are from abuse and unsafe acts. I''ll continue to Treat as many as I can every day and You''ll rest in the comfort of your home and abuse enjoy the rights of a free country.

I know about the struggles of the military - since I served. Have you?

You are welcome to keep a narrow-minded focus if you like. In my country, we are free to speak and highlight problems (including political ones - like the cause of this war) without fear of reprisal. At least, so far. Our rights have eroded significantly over the last few years and that is a destructive trend, thank you very much.

What many people fail to consider is over the past couple of centuries millions of Americans have died protecting the freedoms we hold dear - and yet, this administration acts like a King and takes our rights away for its own political gain.
I choose not to hand that victory to our enemies without vigorously resisting though increasing awareness.

And if you''re blind to that issue I suggest you are part of the problem.

This is not about me at all - I didn''t start this war, I''m not going to end it - but I sure as hell won''t tolerate it without increasing awareness of what was done.

Just because you may be content with the status quo doesn''t mean your responsibilities to future generations is abdicated. They are the ones who will be paying for this war.

America - love it or fix it! Don''t stick your head in the sand.

I can''t believe medical supplies are running short. We give billions for AIDS in Africa which is doing absolutley no good and can''t come up with enough to fund a burn unit in IRAQ

Hello America

Mans inhumanity to man.

I heard that even untrained G.I.`s are practicing medicine in some circumstances.

I was just wondering, I imagune the G.I.`s could probably use some antibiotics and pain killers,
is there anyway, Americans can donate pain pills and antibiotics out of their medicine chests, I know my bathroom is just full of old stuff, some of these people could have,

all I need to know is when and where do I drop it off at?

sincerely Fuzzy
