They are the worst of mankind: The terrorists in Iraq are now bombing children.
Outside the door to the refrigerated room, Amjad’s sobbing mother called his name over and over, as if to summon him back to life. Then she looked up and asked: “What did he do to deserve this? They are killing children. Why? Why?”
Amjad and more than a dozen other children from east Baghdad’s al-Khalij neighborhood made up the majority of the 27 people killed when a suicide bomber drove into a crowd that had gathered around U.S. soldiers who were handing out candy and small toys, police said.
Why does any responsible news organization try to dignify these people with labels like “insurgent,” as if they have a cause and a purpose other than murder? Why doesn’t every national and religious leader in the Arab world condemn these criminals for what they are? Why aren’t other nations joining the fight to rid Iraq of this evil?
