http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/23/perry.tyre/index.htmlStanding in front of this 8-year-old boy lying in a hospital bed, the "conflict in the Middle East" and the "cost of war" seem endless and suffocating. His pain cannot possibly be imagined as he shakes uncontrollably in and out of shock. He has blood coming from his eyes.
His name is Mahmood Monsoor and he is horribly burned. In the hospital bed next to him is his 8-month-old sister, Maria -- also burned. Screaming at the top of her lungs is the children's mother, Nuhader Monsoor. She is standing over her baby, looking at her son -- and probably thinking of her dead husband. The smell of burned flesh is overwhelming.
A major rant: Where were these journalists when we were doing the same thing to innocent civilians in Iraq? Apparently the MSM can be very brave about this when it's not us committing the atrocities.
