BAGHDAD, IRAQ (BNO NEWS) -- A deadly bombing targeted a western Iraq elementary school where at least four people were confirmed dead, officials said Monday.

The attack took place at a school in Heet District, located in the western province of Anbar, when a suicide car bomber detonated its explosives near the school. Reports indicate that four school children were killed, including some who were beginning first grade, while at least nine others were also injured.

The number of casualties was confirmed by the Advisor of the Governor of Anbar, Mohammed Fat'hi, but he warned that the death toll is expected to rise. Meanwhile, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), strongly condemned the bombing, which comes just as the country's new school year for over nine million Iraqi children begins.

"For schools to be attacked is a despicable crime and we are particularly distressed to learn that some of the victims were young children,"said Martin Kobler, the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Iraq and head of UNAMI, who described the attack as a "shocking act of violence against children."

"Whether the school was intended as the target or not, no child should pay the price for violence carried out at the hands of criminals," Kobler added.

I'm trying to think of a more dastardly act, and I can't.

And we have our self-proclaimed progressives that claim that we need to offer understanding to these incidents as they have been brought about by Western suppression of Islam. They are not in fact sociopathic animals they are victims of society, maginalised minorities oppressed to desperate acts by rascist policies of uncaring right wing governments (that includes anything to the centre from Stalin, God bless his memory).

No doubt if the progressive's children were blown apart by homicidal maniacs they would embrace them as oppressed brothers fighting the good cause, need to break a few eggs etc..

Islam, killing young children and winning hearts and minds. Of course the great irony is that Muslims kill vastly more greater numbers of fellow Muslims than any other segment. If you are a Muslim you have a far greater chance of being blown apart by Muslims than if you were a Jew.

Just read on another blog Progressives claiming the Killing Fields of Cambodia never happened, Pol Pot was a hero to his people. Is it the education system or inbred genetic stupidy that produces these ideas?

My thoughts of understanding and good will has long left me when it concerns these people. At this point I'm just counting up the almost 20,000 acts of deadly violence in the last eleven years and waiting for pay back to really begin. It won't be soon enough, it won't be strong enough, but maybe it'll be meaningful.
