IED’s have come to America.

And that's why it's not being reported. Besides, it wasn't an IED, it was the center fuel tank.

A couple of people have already been shot and a few killed in Chicago this weekend. No news on that.

When I was young and dumb, we used to hold firecrakers in our fingers and let them blow. (The trick was to not hold too tightly. Didn’t sting as much that way.)

Firecrackers, even powerful ones don't blow feet or legs off.

Even "illegal" firecrackers.

This sounds like a land mine.

Only ladyfingers or inch-and-a-halfs.

Not cherry bombs or M-80s. :)

Or on the flat of your hand. A little powder burn (from small firecrackers, anyway), but a nun could whack you harder with a ruler. You’re right, confinement was everything.

Haven’t heard too much about the suicide bomber in Baghdad either.
126 dead including 25 children.
