THE bloodbath that has taken place in Iraq in the past couple of days defies condemnation. Over 160 dead on Wednesday, most of them Baghdadi laborers whose only crime was to try and find some work so that they could feed their families. It was an act of sheer evil.
People can understand why the insurgents attack the forces of occupation: Iraqis are a proud people; they are thankful to be rid of Saddam Hussein, but the ignominy of occupation is humiliating. |
