I tried to write about this in my own words but I gave up.
Iraqi goons slaughter 35 children
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS via nydailynews.comBAGHDAD, Iraq – A series of bombs killed 35 children and seven adults Thursday as U.S. troops handed out candy at a government ceremony to inaugurate a new sewage treatment plant. Hours earlier, a suicide blast killed a U.S. soldier and two Iraqis on the capital’s outskirts.
The bombs in Baghdad’s al-Amel neighborhood caused the largest death toll of children in any insurgent attack since the conflict in Iraq began 17 months ago.
“The Americans called us, they told us, ’Come here, come here,’ asking us if we wanted sweets. We went beside them, then a car exploded,” said 12-year-old Abdel Rahman Dawoud, lying naked in a hospital bed with shrapnel embedded all over his body.
All I could think of was our little pet project over at ProudToBeCanadian.ca. And I donated another ten bucks.
