Or this from the BBC's natering nabob's of negativity (where is their sense of humor?): 'Iraqi wedding party hit by US' A US military helicopter has opened fire on a wedding party in western Iraq killing over 40 people, reports say. The US military could not confirm the reports, but said an investigation had been launched. A police official in the desert town of Ramadi, near the Syrian border, told AP news agency between 42 and 45 people were killed by US fire. The incident apparently happened after wedding guests started firing in the air in celebration. The BBC's David Willis in Baghdad says the firing of guns is a tradition at Arab weddings and American troops have in the past mistaken celebratory gunfire for enemy attacks. AP Television filmed relatives burying the alleged victims at Ramadi, a stronghold of insurgents against the coalition. The dead are thought to include several women and children. The US, which is facing a Shia and Sunni Muslim insurgency in Iraq, says foreign fighters are entering the country from Syria. Two months ago, six members of an Iraqi family were killed and four others wounded by US soldiers in a village north of Baghdad during a wedding party.
