Alexander Wolfe commented on Savages:
One gets the sense that you’re more offended by children and soldiers being lumped together in the article then you were by children being killed. Are you on the lookout more for the evils of religious terrorism, or the evils of liberal bias in the media?
I’m offended by their being lumped together because children were deliberately targeted and murdered, and for nothing more than to further a media agenda. The two are not mutually exclusive, though I admit that it’s hard to decide which is more despicable: the deliberate murder of children, or downplaying the murder of children just to push a leftwing interpretation.
However, there’s more:
Iraq seizes booby-trapped toys
24/11/2005 17:13 - (SA)Baghdad - The Iraqi army said on Thursday it had seized a number of booby-trapped children’s dolls, accusing insurgents of using the explosive-filled toys to target children.
The dolls were found in a car, each one containing a grenade or other explosive, said an army statement.
The government said that two men driving the car had been arrested in the western Baghdad district of Abu Ghraib.
“This is the same type of doll as that handed out on several occasions by US soldiers to children,” said government spokesperson Leith Kubba.
It was not immediately clear when the find was made or the suspects arrested.
That’s it. No further details, and certainly none of the solicited commentary a story about, oh, the evils of American soldiers would definitely have gotten. And to date, not a peep from the cowards in the Senate who are so concerned about the “rights” of these child-murdering terrorists.
Sign me furious and disgusted.
