Quiet in Ramadi, Baghdad's a Mess

No news from Ramadi today.

I usually don't post on events outside of Ramadi, but today I am compelled to write something about the 34+ children that died in the Baghdad car bombing. I am deeply saddened and appalled by these events. No people in any country wants to be occupied, but I do not see any religion, code of ethics or set of moral values that justifies the killing of innocent children. I am reminded of great leaders such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela all who advocate non-violent methods of protest. Where is this person in the Muslim world? Why do these people insist on killing their own? My heart goes out to the families of these children who lives were needlessly ended.

"As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance,cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side." --Mahatma Gandhi
