Everybody Riot!
This week, U.S. forces picked up or put down (I use the term in the veterinary sense) 20 members of an al-Qaeda cell in Baghdad. It’s always unfortunate when terrorists choose to take shelter in civilian neighborhoods; worse yet when some inhabitants choose to shelter them, thus endangering their families and their neighbors. As a consequence, a woman and child who didn’t have to die, died. Observe the reaction of some:
Angry men at the scene held up a color image of a smiling, winking Jesus giving a “thumbs up” sign that they said was left by troops at the raided house. The image, known as the “Buddy Christ,” is from the movie Dogma, a 1999 religious satire.

Oh, almost forgot. This is even worse than missing out on Christmas and pepperoni.
