Meanwhile: At Least 48 Are Killed in Suicide Bombings in Iraq
London and Dennis aside.....

~snip~ A man strapped with explosives blew himself up Sunday at a military recruiting center, one of series of suicide attacks that killed at least 48 people. Five U.S. troops were wounded in a bombing as the prime minister complained Americans were too quick to fire on civilians deemed suspicious. ~snip~

1. At least for one day, can we not politicize it?

3. What do you mean, for one day not politicize it? Is it not proper to
comment on an event the day it happens? Is it now wrong to be angry or feel the need to mention tragic events as they unfold or is there a proper waiting period.

Just asking because I sure am getting wary of this place. Don't say this, don't talk about this now, do this, don't do that.

What is acceptable behavior for DU anymore? Not being an ass although the urge is certainly there, I just don't want to offend the powers that be, or that think they should be?
