Cowardice
It all started early in the morning in a busy market of a town near here. A market usually patrolled and guarded by the Iraqi Police. A market where the police usually prevent vehicles from entering so that occurrences of violence wouldn’t happen. For some reason, this particular morning no IPs were to be found according to the reports. A man in non-traditional clothing drove his vehicle into the busy market, parked it, and walked away. A few minutes later his vehicle exploded, wounding more than 70 and killing 29 people – including women and children. Innocent people going about their daily lives.
Was this a strike against coalition forces? No, none were anywhere close. Was this a strike against the Iraqi Police or government? No, as I stated they were mysteriously missing this morning. This was a strike by terrorist cowards against the people of Iraq in order to strike fear and hate into the hearts of the people. It was an act of violence such as hadn’t been seen in this part of the country in a long time. Why? Because it was an easy target and the people here believe differently than the people who blew them up.
