OK, then answer in this specific case. Huh? The entire thing is repulsive. Killing people of his own religion/ethnicity/culture as an expression against foreign military presence is repulsive, as well as moronic, and it doesn't occur AT ALL in many countries. Killing non-combatants is repulsive. Killing himself is repulsive. I don't get what your attempt to segment my objection is driving at. If you absolutely can't stand George Bush and his administration, and in order to express that you go down to your local school and kill 100 children and yourself, you're sick. George's administration isn't primarliy responsible for creating you - primarily YOU are, then your peers and your direct influences and your family, etc. etc. Whatever it was about your particular situation that turned you into a killing nutcase needs to be expunged from our society. Then what do you think caused it? Would it have happened without the presence of "coalition" troops? I don't have all the answers or the time to give that question justice, but most Iraqis DO NOT turn into killers that blow each other up and ALL Iraqis live under the coalition presence, so there is something closer to home than a US GI driving a jeep down the street. For the vast majority of humans on this planet, the actions of that guy who killed 100 of his fellow Arabs are plain disgusting and sickening and indicative of something wrong with HIM. Just as an American desperately protesting the Bush administration by killing 100 American school kids and himself would be indicative of something wrong with HIM, not of the administration. Would it have happened without the presence of US troops? I already told you, the killers were the well armed and more powerful Saddam government. They didn't need to suicide kill, they just killed.
