#1 Ok, this is a horrible story, and I hear similar ones it all the time, but what stands out is the ice cream restaurant.
If conditions in Iraq are getting worse, how come people still have the money and leisure time to buy ice cream? They obviously feel safe enough to saunter out of their homes to buy luxury goods. Also, if the power is dodgey, how are they keeping the stuff frozen?

#2 According to LLL dhimmis, each civilian death caused by the United States (real and imaginary) results in a number of people joining the terrorists to fight against us, 10 or 12 per head seems to be the authoritative number of choice.
Why then does each terrorist outrage not likewise inspire dozens or hundreds to join us in massacring the terrorists?
Why, indeed, do the terrorists themselves not recognize the inexorable logic of their appeasement lobby and desist from their atrocities?

#3 It sounds brutal, but this is a good filtering mechanism. The Iraqis who join up will know the score beforehand. Only the ones who are in it to kill the guerrillas will sign up.
