What a beautiful response, zit, full of compassion for the Iraqi people. So it is "regrettable that this family feels selfishly more important than the 25 to 50 people that on average were killed by saddam on a daily basis". Do you really think this is the only family that feels this way? Do you really believe 'since the americans have freed iraq' 10,000 plus haven't been killed by us??? Where are all the flowers that were to be showered upon our troops??? Unemployment is running at 40%, potable water is a real problem, disease rampant, electricity is operating less than half the time with temps over 120 degrees. Hope the a/c in your glass house is working 'cause you really do not have a clue' how real people think in real circumstances. As for your advice, judging by the importance of Oprah and Blockbuster in your home you were long ago tuned out so I can see your need telling families thousands of miles away how they should think and feel.
