"Red Cross car bombed in Iraq"

Another international aid organization targeted in Iraq. First the UN HQ was destroyed, now the relief workers are being killed.

that's what happens when the king of the world spreads shit around.
sorry for everybody physically hurt in this (and all conflicts) , morally hurt by loss of relatives, friends etc...
most terrorists etc. have received training and weapons from a country (not all the country, but successive governments) which believe they can rule the world.

Looks like they took that challenge to heart.

Shit. Well, a hornet's net was stirred up, and it pays to remember that folks who are willing to randomly kill invaders might get bored with that eventually, and randomly (or specifically) target others.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I don't in anyway condone this act. But, I can see why the Red Cross was targeted. Its hard to keep up resentment against the western occupation forces if people see an improvement in their day to day lives. Also its even worse if you're a Wahibi Islamic organisation and what appears to be a organisation with a Christian symbol starts gaining favour amoungst the local population. Looks like a strategic strike to the heart of the West's hearts and minds operation, when viewed through Wahibi lense's.

All the things that happened today in Iraq:

Suicide bomber kills 18 at Red Cross headquarters in Baghdad and nearby police stations. link

Three Iraqi policemen killed, ten US soldiers wounded in bombing at Al-Elam police station in Baghdad's Khark district. link

Keep these people in your thoughts. Larry, one of our TM's, came back from Afghanistan with a huge hole in his leg, covered with skin grafts and muscle transplants. It looked like he would never walk again, but he was recovering well and getting around on crutches. And his was a minor wound. There are people coming back with no arms and legs, and there are people who will never walk, or even be able to move below the neck, again. It is people like Larry who pay the price when the terrorists "bring it on." I hope we keep that in mind in the coming months and years.

So true. No one really thinks about what wounded might mean. It covers evrything from a cut to multiple traumatic amputation.
