I came to tears when I saw the picture of the little boy. What kind of fucking savage would do this to an innocent child. Fucking animals.

    Thats just sick.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    masked men doused a 5 year old boy with gas and lit him on fire in iraq. heis alive but disfigured.

    events like this are why i hold back judgement against the death penalty. i would personally pull the trigger and go out to dinner to celebrate if i could.

    This is what happens when the US goes in occupies a country for oil, make life less valuable, torture prisoners, kill innocent citizens and you get another dispicable crime like this. Sorry to say this but we the US has this on our hands as long as we are there causing havoc and turmoil.

    There is no peace in Iraq.

    I believe the article provided a decent answer

    "In a war-ravaged city torn by sectarian violence and marked by acts of vengeance, this attack's apparent randomness stands out as an example of what life has become in a place where brutality -- even against young children -- is a constant."

    There is no way to know what it is like to be a bat. Likewise, you cannot know what it is like to be a young man in Baghdad at this time. Just know that there is a cause for all of this, and it's closer to home than you might think.

    While I agree Ryan with what you've said here, but I don't think this kind of thing can only be explained because of war and sectarian violence. We had a young boy here, Jandamara O'Shane, who was also set alight in a random attack about 10 years ago.

    I'm interested. Can you give a brief synopsis of the causes outlined in the book? I might pick it up.

    Hmm, I didn't intend to mean that the sole cause was war and violence.

    There are bound to be multiple causes, whatever the necessary cause is, I don't know, but war and sectarian violence certainly exacerbates the likelihood of this type of incident.

    True. I guess we're all still trying to work out WHY it happened here.

    They planned on the kid dying most likely. This type of mind warfare is used as black ops to target and break people, they then approach and recruit them (the father, older brother) to do desperate acts in the name of terrorism against the "enemy". Sad but true. It keeps the war machine going.

    There are some people in this world that see others as not even human beings...they see them as rats, insects, or vermin to be used and tossed aside like toilet paper.

    Growing up in a grim war torn reality (poor access to water and nutrition etc..) then being brainwashed by a military (toss in some abuse) well...it does sick things to people minds. It all adds up to make horrible things like this happen.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    As terrible as what has happened to that little boy worse has happened because of our occupation. Question: Do you think this would have happened to this little boy if we had not invaded this country of Iraq?

    There's soldier's documentation of a killing of innocent Iraqi citizens and our soldiers playing soccer with those citizens decapitated head, just after the invasion in 2003. I maybe sick in your opinion but to me that's some really sick shit.

    the longer we drive up and down their streets in tanks.. the more evil will grow. their families members are dead - their country is dead. they have no hope - no dignity - no direction - and no control

    it will get worse.

    We need to suck it up and give Iraq back to Iraq.
