I have just witnessed a murder on my TV screen 

Matt Hamon -- 11/11/04: "ICH" -- As I sit here and write this I have tears
streaming down my face, I am shaking and my heart is pounding. I have just
witnessed a murder on my TV screen.  
  

While watching Lateline on Australian ABC television there was a report
from Fallujah. In the story they showed a marine saying, "I've just injured
one, he's between the two buildings". At that moment another marine walks
over to the gap between the two houses, he then climbs on a forty four
gallon drum aims his gun at the injured Iraqi and fires one shot. 

The marine then climbs back down saying, "He's done". 

Evidence of a war crime right there on my screen, evidence that America
takes no prisoners, evidence of a horrendous act condoned by my country. 

How did we become as bad as this, when did the coalition forces become
terrorist themselves. 

I am choking, gagging, I want to vomit. I have just witnessed murder by my
own people. 

Will this become the norm, will we in the west idly watch as our government
send our young men and women to perpetrate crimes against humanity. 

What ever happen to the Geneva Conventions? What happened that we could
become immune to the atrocities committed by our own people in what can
only be describe as an illegal invasion for selfish, self-serving reasons,
oil, greed and power. 

When did we authorise our government to breech international law and to
commit acts of terrorism? 

Please tell me, I really want to know. Please, I want to make sense of the
murder I have just witnessed on my television.
