(AP) - Three bombs exploded at a neighborhood celebration Thursday in western Baghdad, killing 35 children and seven adults, officials said. Hours earlier, a suicide car bomb killed a U.S. soldier and two Iraqis on the capital's outskirts. The bombs in Baghdad's al-Amel neighborhood caused the largest death toll of children in any insurgent attack since the conflict in Iraq began 17 months ago. The children, who were still on school vacation, said they had been drawn to the scene by American soldiers handing out candy.

Where is the anger over this? Even if you don't agree with the Americans being in Iraq, and I don't, will these same people seek out the people who did this as hard as they are trying to kill Americans?
I just can't believe someone would do this to their own in the name of God.
Again, I'm not saying this is all of Islam or this is the way all Muslims think. Please don't think that or read that from this.
I'm just wondering why no one seems to ever blame the people who actually do it?

What are you trying to say? Do you know how many innocent civilians get hit by these types of strikes, or does it make you happy?
Taking away water, electricity, power supply.. these types of bombings when perpetrated by the American side do more destruction. But do you agree with the use of candy to lure children in to be human shields? That's what I want to know.
