Mass murder in Iraq
Feb. 28 - True, somewhat grim title but I feel an anger at the pit of my stomach that has no words over this latest outrage (
Car Bomb Kills at Least 115 in Iraq.)
I realize that the death cultists have little recourse but to murder and spread mayhem; after all, what else to they have to offer? On my better days I try to pity them for their failure to embrace the gift of life, but most days I just hate them.
FoxNews reports (at least on the televised coverage) that those present worked together to load the wounded onto ambulances and gather body parts of the dead. It's some comfort to see that solidarity and humanity in the middle of the wreckage, and not a day goes by that I don't see new reasons to respect the courage of those trying to build a new nation.
Courage. What a small, pitiful word for such a breathtaking concept.

I'm not too sure what a death cultist is. Suicide bomber? Please explain here.
Also, you do realize that the insurgency also consists of Shiites involved in interfactional squabbles in addition to former Baathists and international figures(who are in the minority here). It is possible that this attack is simply one of those factions fighting amongst each other. And yes, they use suicide bombings against each other as well.
As for Iraqis having basic humanity and helping to pick up bodies and wounded...well, that would happen anywhere. It's human nature to help those in need. You don't need to have elections to do that. People usually are good the whole world over, regardless of where they are from.
