16. The kids in Fallujah didn't go through the same things as others did
..like in Baghdad and elsewhere, for example. These kids are taught by their parents. Look what happened in Israel with that teenager; someone straps a bomb to his body and sends him to his death, only he was spared, thank goodness.

The area of this attack is the Sunni triangle, they weren't getting along with other's before we even got there. I obviously cannot hold to the opinion of doing anymore bombings...that's just not okay. But I think we think everyone is "pure in heart" in Iraq--nobody is pure. The so-called coalition has done some good things in trying to repair what WE destroyed. Let them do it. We owe that country for tearing it up. Then let's get out. One would have to be made of wood to not be disturbed by the blowing up of the Red Cross/Crescent or the UN.....they are NOT their enemy. Peacekeepers wouldn't stand a chance over there right now.

Certainly, it's a clusterf**k in Iraq but I don't see how denegrading non military workers and their deaths helps anything...what if it was one of my family that had just been skinned in that attack? Are we going to spit on the military when they come back AGAIN? I hope not.
