I heard an account on NPR of a bombing in Iraq at a cemetery.
I am too lazy to do the research on it but apparently during this holy season it is typical for families to congregate and picnic in cemeteries to remember the dead.
Terrorists set off a bomb in this particular cemetery that killed people who were picnicking there.
I have lost my capacity to be shocked at the horrendous behavior of human beings.
However......how low can you go. People who are most likely mourning as well as celebrating the lives of those who have died in an expectation of peace and safety, themselves being dispatched to an early grave.
What kind of statement are you making when you do this? What is the point, the expected end result?
The look of horror and surprise on the faces of those blown to an early death in this cemetery should be captured on a poster or a sculpture and titled "An Honest Expression Of The Human Condition."
