True, and being a "female" child, you can wonder about what put her in that wheelchair as well.

Yep, announce that they're all enemy combatants, and in 5 minutes we'll drop a MOAB. Then watch them scatter.

These younger kiwis sure do panic easily. Good thing they didn't send us any of their faint-hearted troops to babysit.

You have Grasped the ESSENCE of the REPULSIVE INHUMANITY of the "Believers of Islam" who expect the "Rest of Us" to accept Their "Belief System!!"

"ISLAM" is UTTERLY ALIEN to ANY "BELIEFS" of ANY OTHER FAITH!!

The "Concept of 'ISLAM'" is UTTERLY REPULSIVE to ANY Faith which accepts the Concept of "Redemption!"

"ISLAM" & "Christianity" are "Mutualy Exclusive!!"

While Those of the "Christian Faith" accept Those who are of the "Islamic Faith;" NONE of Those who "Believe in Islam" can accept a "Christian!!"

Such a "Religious Bigotry" represents a VAST "Level of Ignorance!!"

Until this VAST "Chasm" is "Bridged" by Someone of Faith & Intelligence, Humankind has LOST it's BEST HOPE!!

We MUST regain our ability to Understand One Another!!

Oh, I understand THEM alright...they're evil and want all of us dead. It's a rather simple concept.

When I say evil, I'll go so far as to say demon possessed.

The real question - someone on the forum was saying this the other day - is why they are being allowed to go to Najaf. In some way, either the situation is out of control, or is being managed strangely.

When was the last time the media reported on an event in the "Holy City" of Jerusalem or Rome?
