Good God, make it stop.

Children massacred in Iraq bombs

Officials said at least 34 children were among 41 or more people killed when bombs were detonated near a water treatment plant as US troops passed by.

At least 130 others were injured, many among crowds gathered for the opening ceremony at the plant who had gone up to collect sweets from the soldiers.


Damn them. Damn them to hell.

I'm a Western woman, with Western views, and so I fail - and will continue to fail - to understand the methods of these so-called "insurgents."

If the murder of children receiving candy from soldiers is acceptable under their rules of war, then I hope never to understand. I'm so tired of the world telling me, since I'm an imperialist American, that I should respect their views, and learn about their culture. That I should try to understand their position, and where their hatred comes from.

Bullshit. I know all I fucking need to know.

There's a phrase from Islamo-fascists that keeps coming back to me, whether spoken by bin Laden or al-Zarqawi or any hooded coward with a knife: "we desire death more than you desire life."

Good. I wouldn't have it any other way.
