this is what happens

when we illegally, immorally and unjustly invade a country FOR NO REASON. the iraqis (contrary to what most americans THINK) did NOT bomb the world trade center. the iraqis NEVER threatened us (before we attacked them). babies and grandfathers die

Block in Baghdad Mourns Its Own
Sudden U.S. Gunfire Claims Child, Her Grandfather and a Neighbor, Residents Say


By Sudarsan Raghavan Washington Post Foreign Service
BAGHDAD, March 31 -- Abdul Qader, his chest and leg wrapped in white bandages, began to cry -- not out of pain, but loss. He remembered seeing the American Humvees, then a hail of bullets. He remembered seeing his close friend and neighbor, Abbas Ramadan, shot as he clutched his 2-year-old granddaughter, blood oozing from her head. Abdul Qader ran and ran until he collapsed from the bullets that pierced his own body.
He's gone. He was so kind," said Abdul Qader, crumbling. "I am not crying because of my wounds. I am crying because of my friend. He was like a brother."
Abdul Qader's suffering is part of the human toll of the worst violence in months in
Iraq. At least 400 people, from the southern city of Basra to the capital, Baghdad, were killed over six days, including many civilians, according to Iraqi police and other officials. Countless more were injured, joining thousands of Iraqis whose lives have been shattered by five years of conflict. ............
