I was going to post this story last night, when the news flash first came on. The I asked myself why bother? It would just create a bitch-fest. How does a bomb in Iraq facilitate a useful discussion on this board? If people want to rant, then this should be in the General Board.
If people want to debate the pros and cons of the action in Iraq, based upon something new (not just the death of some soldiers), then OK.
But if we're just ranting because 19 US soldiers were killed, then I refer the board members to the hundreds of threads on this topic we've had for over a year.

PS - My sympathies to the families of those that died (including the Iraqis). Also, to the injured and maimed, who are often overlooked. If terrorism in Ireland is anything to go by, this kind of attack (semi-soft targets; ie, canteens) will continue to increase. Such a waste...
