40 Bullets, 3 Orphans
As Robert Fisk points out, it is quite easy to create orphans in Iraq. What truly can you say about 3 young girls whose mother’s body was riddled by 40 bullets fired by employees of an Australian “security” company while she committed the heinous crime of driving home from church to her Baghdad home. And then when the girls try to go to the waiting arms of an uncle in Amman, Jordan, they are turned back at the border.
Earlier this week, we wrote about how the U.S. military is poisoning children with its rocket fuel and about the 100,000 children in Kenya who have been displaced by conflict . As Cindy Sheehan asked upon the death of her son Casey, WHAT NOBLE CAUSE???
Some days I am angry, other days I just weep. The girls names are Alice, Karoon and Nora. Their mother’s name was Marou.

This Old WW2 combat Vet is so outraged that the civilians are being gunned down, that this mother was just one of many thousands, unjustly shot at, and not one word of this terrible deed on the main news. I wonder if Bush heard of this or his wife Laura? The Austrailians should get their troops out of Iraq immediatly, and not wait like planned. An illegal war.
Is this that story?
