Abdul Samadi, the pictures are horrific and very distressing, I feel very sorry for the children who were orphaned by a very tragic but bizarre incident. Individual tragedies alas do not constitute basis of global wars, in these present being conducted to eradicate roots of terror of ultimate kind lot of innocents do become cannon fodder, what we very inhumanly term as collateral damage. Remember innocents throwing themselves from WTC? The pictures were as repulsive as the ones you have posted, no distinctions can be made when innocent blood is spilled, however it is the circumstances that we need to examine before passing a verdict of guilt.
In this particular case I have my condemnation of incident tapered due to very cold-hearted father. In our part of the world, father hood is a major responsibility, motherhood ensures bringing up of the children within a household it is the father who like a lion should protect his innocent charge from such foolish adventures.
I think that principal blame of this act lies on the father of these kids, early morning dusk ride with the whole family could have only come as a part of great necessity, but foolhardy and reckless behaviour of overlooking warnings to stop and cold blooded disregard of warning shots in present war milieu in Iraq is asking for major trouble, all responsible fathers would stop on a road block; he was either bewildered, fearful or a callous father, definitely it was former not later but certainly that does not relieve him from being a very reckless parent. To take his kids through such dangerous ordeal in early dusk hours and let his innocent children and his wife go through such a daredevil ride was not conscientious.
I have seen these kind of road blocks, during the first Gulf war after conquest of Kuwait we had to cross these road blocks during our commute to buy essentials, first thing we did was never take the kids in the same car out nor did I ever take my wife out with me, second wherever we were asked to stop we would make sure we complied with the edicts of invading forces of Saddam. Now in Iraq the distances are big and funerals and marriages entail night travels for the whole family and naturally it is cheaper for the whole family to take a car journey but that means a wholly liable mind-set and very dedicated scrutiny of what is happening around.
It is normal for families to travel overnight, we did escape from occupied Kuwait to Iran through Basra during early dusk hours, as soon I came out of my street my car was stopped on the first road block and than several more of ferocious Republican guards checked us until I reached Basra, on every stop I made sure I listened to the orders of the Iraqi intruders of Kuwait.
In wake of hundreds of suicide car bombing attacks in occupied Iraq, the allied occupation soldiers have great sensitivities too; it was a totally puzzled father trying to run away from equally distrustful soldiers who have seen their comrades felled to exactly such attacks.
We cannot draw moral equivalence when comparing tragedies, all acts where innocent blood is spilled should be avoided at every cost but sometime when innocent blood becomes the cheapest commodity like it was under Saddam than some actions are definitely required, did you see that despite of OBL/Zarqawi call the downtrodden masses of Iraq came on street and danced for their freedom, last Sunday was nearly two weeks form this ugly tragedy that you have posted but despite of that Iraqi in majority made a clarion call to the world by voting in mass that the freedom that allied forces won for them means a lot to them, the other course could have been that they could be intimidated and sat at homes listening to all those who had issued holy edicts that these yearning for freedom and ballot boxes are instruments of infidelity and imported paganism. In any case the change that we all witnessed on Sunday showed us that inadvertent sacrifice made by that father were and shall not be lost.. |
