Default Celebrating marriage: no longer safe in Iraq.

Or maybe itīs not the marriage itself that isnīt safe, itīs the marriage party!
You canīt celebrate your daughterīs marriage anymore, without having a 500kg bomb dropped on your head.
Just as it had happened in Afghanistan a couple of times, now this fresh definition of "colateral damage" has moved to Iraq aswell.
Maybe itīs just one pilot, with a hardon for trashing marriage parties, that just got transfered to Iraq, eh?
Naaah...

Yesterday there were two bits on news that really touched the twilight zone.
First we had the Israelis firing on unarmed demonstrators, wich makes you wonder what their idea of democracy is. Some 30 or more dead, including many young boys, children even.
And then we get almost a photocopy of that in Iraq, where a marriage celebration was cutted short by a few "smart" bombs that werenīt smart enough to figure out it was just a party, and not a full scale rebellion...
Again, the images repeat themselfs:
Dozens dead, but this time there are many more children amongst the dead.
To tell you the truth, itīs not safe to be iraqi or palestinian anymore.
Why marry your childhood sweetheart, if you wonīt live long enough to enjoy the wedding night? Itīs better to just turn gay and live in Abu Ghraib, where youīll find "friendly" people just aking to take your panths off! At least the chances of eating a 1000 pound bomb for breakfast is smaller, allthough you might end up swallowing more than you can chew, there aswell...
Why is the US struggling to take away their weapons? Let them keep them! Sooner or later, if things go on like this, they will turn them on themselfs and save the US the trouble. Or not. Thereīs a good chance they will feed the US a knuckle sandwich, with all the trimmings and hot lead to boot.
