absolutely disgusting.

this news story really fried me, and i just wanted to throw this out there in case you all hadn't heard about this yet...

i'm a bit ashamed to admit, but i don't pay attention to every abhorrent suicide bombing that takes place in the middle east, and i should be as disgusted about every attack as i am with this one. the latest carnage in baghdad on friday caught my attention mostly because these brutal attacks took place in two separate pet markets; i was upset that so many innocent men, women, children and animals were so violently killed. then i read THIS article, and now i am absolutely livid and sick. al-qaida (purportedly) is now using the mentally disabled as suicide bombers because their organization is running out of able-bodied men eager to blow themselves up. what?? are there actually people in this world who are evil enough to even conjure up such horrible ideas?? taking advantage of individuals who have limited capacity to understand or make clear decisions for themselves is absolutely dastardly. anybody who hides behind innocent and/or helpless victims to do their thug-like bidding is the EPITOMY of a coward, and i am scared for us all.

That is so sad. Who do these people think they are? Honestly. No one should ever think of doing this....ever.

Such a sad, demented people. I am more grateful every day to be an American and not have to deal with that sort of mentality in times of desperation.

old me.
