Shocking Photos!

Oh no, photos from civil-war-ravaged Iraq!

Do you dare look?

Hint: I'm being facetious.

I can't decide whether my favorite is the one of students walking under a banner reading "We will not succumb to terrorism. This is our answer.", or of the grown men sitting with grade-schoolers to learn how to read and write.

The other day I was forced again to view Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room at the gym, and CNN's "special report" on sectarian violence, that began -- now get this -- "almost as soon as the invasion of 2003!"

Oh, that's rich.

All rainbows and roses under Uncle Saddam, was it?

Sectarian mass graves filled themselves, did they?

Kurds had some unfortunate industrial accidents, eh?

If it's off their tv screen, they can't conceive of it existing.
