This year's Ramadan was the most violence since 2007, with 671 people killed. Police said the deadliest of today's attacks took place when a suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a residential area in the town of Tuz Khormato, 130 miles north of Baghdad, killing eight people and wounding dozens. "My shop's windows were smashed and smoke filled the whole area," says a shoe shop owner, who survived an attack near his store in New Baghdad. "I went outside of the shop and I could hardly see because of the smoke. ... At the end, we had a terrible day that was supposed to be nice because of Eid."

If I'm not mistaken, our valiant Postal Service has authorized stamps to commemorate the Eid al-Fitr. I was in the Post Office a couple of years ago and asked for Christmas stamps. I was offered Muslim stamps, When I declined those, I got something from the postal clerk to the effect that "They're people, too."

I'm just wondering, in the current PC climate, how long we will be able to use actual Christmas stamps as U.S.postage.

Did not the boy in the big house say what a Lovely thing this celebration was, just today. He spoke of the Lovely tradition they had brought to America.

I guess it’s better than a fireworks display to signal the end of a holiday/festival.

Kind of like when they wrap up Independence Day fireworks displays with a lot of heavy stuff to close the show.
