This is Margaret Hassan. British born, she moved to Iraq 30 years ago, and worked for CARE International, providing humanitarian aid to the country for nearly three decades. She long stood as the head of the entire division.
Margaret Hassan was kidnapped, to be used as a pawn against the placement of British troops in Iraq. Some time in the last few days, she was videotaped as a man put a gun to her head and killed her with a single bullet.
This woman spent 30 years helping prople in Iraq. Thirty years, and she's thanked with a bullet to the head in the same country. I'm at a loss for words. I'm sickened by this. I've fucking had it with the entire situation, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
I'm sick of all the killing, I'm sick of the utter lack of logic behind everyone's motivation. I'm sick of religion being used on all sides as a motivation for murder. I'm sick of people getting rich because of it. I've just had it.

Not all sides. I don't know when the coalition forces have ever used religion as a motivation for murder

I wasn't referring to the war in Iraq in the last section. I'm just having trouble with the general horrible nature of man. When I said "All sides," I meant it more generally. Christian, Muslim, what have you.
Plus, like it or not, a great many Americans view our presence in Iraq as a Christian presence. It doesn't mean it's true, but it's there.

I'm sorry, but I'm just not going to do this.

Can you tell me where you got that info? Send me a link to a non-liberal news source, and don't quote the idiots in Waco.
