A suicide car bomber sped up to American soldiers distributing candy to children and detonated his explosives Wednesday, killing up to 27 other people, U.S. and Iraqi officials said. One U.S. soldier and about a dozen children were among the dead.The Iraqis don't seem to be confused about the two concepts of brave resistance to tyranny and depraved slaughter of innocents:
At Kindi hospital, where many of the dead and injured were taken, one distraught woman swathed in black sat cross-legged outside the operating room. "May God curse the mujahedeen and their leader," she cried as she pounded her own head in grief.
On the way home from work, NPR reported on a twelve-year-old boy struggling unsuccessfully not to cry as he related the mayhem he witnessed. How can anyone not cry with grief that little children are blown apart deliberately?
How can you not cry in frustration that some here call those fuckers a legitimate "resistance" that deserves to win?
Yes, may God curse those bastards who would slaughter children caught up in the simple joy of getting free candy.
And curse those among us who celebrate or excuse these murderous thugs.
