5. So disturbing a photo

it just doesn't leave your senses. They are so young and dying for just being who they are. Some freedom we helped them achieve.

6. Iranian, not Iraqi

(Yet, there is the consensus in some quarters that the winner of the Iraq war is Iran.)

7. Yehvehistic aka "Abrahamic" Fundamentalism in action:

The Christofascists would do as much here, stoning adulteresses and burning "abominations" -- gays, lesbians, witches, atheists etc. -- at the stake.

(Doubt me? Google "dominionist christianity")
