With apologies to the moonbats of the left, this story shows why we need to stick around in Iraq a while longer:
Baghdad — Inside the morgue at Kindi Hospital lay the remains of Amjad Kudeer. He was 13 when fragments from a suicide car bomb struck him in the head and chest Wednesday, killing him instantly.
Outside the door to the refrigerated room, Amjad’s sobbing mother called his name over and over, as if to summon him back to life. Then she looked up and asked: “What did he do to deserve this? They are killing children. Why? Why?”
Amjad and more than a dozen other children from east Baghdad’s al-Khalij neighborhood made up the majority of the 27 people killed when a suicide bomber drove into a crowd that had gathered around U.S. soldiers who were handing out candy and small toys, police said. The attack also killed one soldier, according to the U.S. military, and wounded at least 50 people.
Rove or no Rove, there are serious things going on in the world and we need to deal with them.
We do need to stick around when you consider what happened this week. Attacking children makes no sense and doesn’t advance anyone’s cause. The act defies all logic. Children are innocents not even old enough to understand their place in the world. What was the Iraqi bomber thinking? MommyCool.com notes, “If there were piles of shiny, golden coins worth millions and billions of dollars, would a suicide bomber stop his mission on the street to gaze at the potential of the loot? He could use the gold to buy many pleasures. He would not have to be a suicide bomber.” Instead, children are dead and now families are suffering.
Remarkable piece, Leon.
