"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

What Media Bias?™

Iraqis Blame U.S. for Massacre of Children

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Families of the 35 children who died in a string of bombings in Baghdad blamed American troops for the tragedy, accusing them of attracting insurgents to a ceremony where the attacks occurred.

That's right. Rebuilding a sewage treatment plant and passing out candy... surefire terrorist attractant. What were we thinking?

I don't necessarily hold this against the parents who lost their children, shock and loss will do that. Even if their blame is totally misplaced.

I do, however, hold this article against the friggin' MSM's desire to report nothing but bad new from Iraq.
