The media is reporting that the two women were mentally challenged and goaded into wearing the explosive vest which were then detonated remotely. If this is true—-how depraved can someone be???
But on the other hand if the two women were blown to bits how do they know who they were so quickly and their medical history. Could this news item be a bit of counter-intelligence??!!

Just another day in Baghdad and one more reason for the U.S. to leave and let those people sort it out.

Although patriotism is a granted phenomenon expected of all the soldiers of the world; volunteering themselves to die for the honour of their countries; but this phenomenon requires a just cause to support and keep them inspired. They only want to know and be convinced that their sacrifice will bring a real change in the lives of their country fellows.
Since the lives of the soldiers remain always laid on the line; but it has never been difficult for them to judge or differentiate between a just and a wrong cause.
Report thisOnly the just mission motivates them to die for it; where as when it is found; that the fallacy, deception or greed of some, at the top is tending them to sacrifice for their personal reasons; it results adversely and sadly; they are demoralized beyond recovery.

You know, Lefty, that’s a very good point and strikes at the heart of the hypocrisy of all this shit.
I know that all my friends of all religions value their lives and try to make the most of them, especially if it means they can be of help to those less fortunate. That’s kind of universal.
The myth that any REASONABLE person lives to die for a reward is just that, and contrary to human nature.
