Using Them Who Cannot Defend Themselves

There are many abuses of the handicap around the world. In fact there is many with in our own borders in the U.S. Yet there is one abuse that really makes it harder to swallow. One abuse that really turns the stomach. One that goes beyond the realm of evil. And that one is to take a mentally retarded individual, and strap a bomb on that individual while putting that person in a busy market place where many families and friends gather.

But I just could not imagine an evil so vicious as to send two mentally retarded females strapped with bombs to blow them up in a busy spot and cause the massive carnage which occurred today in Iraq. These must be desperate times for those who want the new government to fail in Iraq, to have stooped so low. Their ends will be defined not by their beliefs but by their actions. And their actions have stained their souls with the blood of innocent.
