#1 I think there should be another stack of cards for Iraq. This time one for each Martyr of Democracy featuring the photo and bio of each of these police and security personnel killed by the terrorists.

Start distributing them on the security patrols, encouraging the kids to collect them all.

#2 Damn good idea Glereper!

Other bombs have been loaded on donkey carts, trucks and even animals.

Now they did it! They pissed off PETA!

#3 I've no doubt that brave policeman is enjoying real houris in Paradise even now. He is a true martyr, not like the Sudanese idiot that killed him.

#4 Somehow I doubt that Mrs TW. Wherever good guys go in the beyond probably doesn't involve lots of virgins. Let's just salute him for what he did in the here and now.

#6 I hope Kazem's heroism becomes part of the new Iraqi folklore. Models of selfless heroism are invaluable to societies. Show great respect for them, and they are emulated. Allawi is right to draw attention to Kazem - and should do so repeatedly to speed the process.

RIP, Abdelmir.

#7 This might be an excellent time for Allawi or the incoming Govt to create an award, such as we have the Freedom Medal, and dedicate it to Kazem and his like-minded colleagues. The effect upon the Iraqi Police would be very positive - and allow them to nominate unknown fallen fellows who acted as Kazem and deserve recognition.
