CNN just did a spot on an Iraqi man who's family was killed by US Army

and how he is not harboring any bitterness because it is worth it if his counrty (Iraq), is progressing away from what it was.
OMFG! This guys wife and 5 kids were slaughtered at a checkpoint and CNN is reporting that he's OK with it as long as the USA is turning his country towards democracy!
CNN just sunk lower in my eyes.

5. Desperate propaganda!

They went into how his kids were talented, recited poetry and read often, and how when the car was first fired upon, his wife ran out to the troops and told them not to shoot, but they mowed her down anyway...
Then the only reamaining child, a grown daughter, went on about how he is not angry or bitter....it was worth it.... :puke:

Interesting that so many have chosen this for their avatar and the OP and first 3 responders have them also.

8. This must be part of the "good news" from Iraq

More Iraqi dead means more insurgents.
