How can a man kill innocent people so simply?

"How can man kill innocent people so simply?" These are words of an Iraqi reporter after he left a man who lost his wife of 40 years to the senseless shooting by the Blackwater mercenaries.

And although this refers to the Blackwater forces, it also applies to president Bush, the Commander In Chief. He is responsible for the death, now of nearly 1,000,000 people. Most of them women and children. Most of them innocent. All of them dead.

And what about the refugees? A million? Two million?

But God knows, as does Allah. And if there is justice in this world, they will be tried, sentenced, and punished. But that will do almost nothing for the 40 years lost in a single thoughtless act. And almost nothing for the millions more who love someone else who has perished.
