We in generally peaceful and generally safe America cannot even imagine the horrors in Iraq, where there are repeated street bombings by terrorists — killing scores of innocent people who had simply been going about their daily business.
Most of the victims are not soldiers. For example, in one day this week, a man strapped an explosive to his body and blew himself up in a crowd. More than 100 people died in that and other bombings that day!
That’s the kind of horror our American troops and Iraqis face daily in Iraq, with no end in sight.
