“I wish they would attack us with a nuclear bomb and kill us all...so we will rest and anybody who wants the oil — which is the core of the problem — can come and get it. We can not live this way anymore; we are dying slowly every day.”
That heartbreaking outcry, reported in The New York Times today, was from Haydar Abdul Jabbar, a 28-year old car mechanic who was standing near a barber shop in a Baghdad market where a one-ton truck bomb exploded on Saturday, killing at least 130 people and wounding hundreds more.
The horrible utter hopelessness we have wrought on the Iraqi people.
