The British news magazine "The Economist" often supports views I do not agree with. However, in the August 18-24 issue, a column points out a fact that I believe to be very important. The civilians back home often forget that hundreds of innocent people are being killed each day. Four large cars and a van were detonated by suicide bombers in Qataniya and Adnaniya, two small villages in northern Iraq. Approximately 250 people were killed. These people were killed for no reason. 250 souls snuffed out, in cold blood. So as we go on with our comfortable middle class lives, I leave you with the subtitle of the column in "The Economist". "Never stop saying it's wrong."
