And the hits just keep on coming

Here’s another story, from yesterday:

“US troops shot to death two women civilians. One of the two was a pregnant mother trying to get to the hospital. They did not slow down, or at least not sufficiently, on approaching a checkpoint in al-Mutasim near Samarra.” (from juancole.com)

Problem is, we over here (myself included) will forget about this in a matter of minutes, hours, or days, but the Iraqis won’t. Nor should they. Nor should we, but we will. We’re like that.

And we wonder why this adventure is in the toilet? The city of Basra is now in a month-long state of emergency. And that’s one of the GOOD places to be. I’d suggest everything is unravelling, but I don’t think it was ever ravelled (?) in the first place.
