White House says Iraq bombing an "atrocity" 2 hours, 49 minutes ago WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House called the suicide bombing in Baghdad that killed 135 people an "atrocity" on Saturday and pledged to help the Iraqi government bring security to the capital. "The United States stands with the people of Iraq. We will support the freely elected Iraqi government and its security forces, to help bring those responsible for today's atrocity to justice, and to deliver greater security to the people of Baghdad," White House press secretary Tony Snow said in a statement. The blast, caused by explosive-laden truck, was the deadliest single bombing in Iraq since the 2003 war and took place in a mainly Shi'ite area of Baghdad. The White House said the attack "targeted the innocent people of Iraq." "Free nations of the world must not stand by while terrorists commit mass murder in an attempt to derail democratic progress in Iraq and throughout the greater Middle East," the statement said.

GZ, I read about that practice being used on Islamic women a long time ago, long before there seemed to be any threat to the world by the nations of the Middle East. I don't think that is a religious thing, but is an indication of the inability for Arab men to feel secure with a woman that has not been mutilated like that. IMO, if they are that insecure with their women, they should go back to their camels for satisfaction.
