Bombs Kill Scores in Iraq — 35 of Them Kids

King Abdullah: Elections Impossible
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Bombs exploded near a U.S. convoy in western Baghdad on Thursday, killing 35 children and seven adults, a hospital official said. Hours earlier, a homicide car bomb killed a U.S. soldier and two Iraqis on the capital's outskirts.
...
Yarmouk Hospital received 38 bodies — including those of 35 children — and 127 wounded, said Dr. Nibras Hamdan. Hutton said 10 American soldiers were among the wounded.

Resident Samir Abul-Karim said the attack happened during a ceremony marking the opening of a new sewage system in the neighborhood. Body parts were strewn in the streets amid pools of blood, and a U.S. helicopter evacuated some of the wounded while others circled.
Who is it thats not winning the 'hearts and minds'? They are going to reject the US because of THESE people? You know bad things happen in war, and bad things happen in revolutions and a revolution is exactly what Iraq is having. Different groups are trying for power, and outside forces are trying to steer it, but what I don't want to hear from anyone is how horrible the US is and civilian casualties causing them to turn against the US. Are the Iraqi's that stupid that they would blame us for someone killed in a crossfire but give something like THIS a pass?
