#1 Typical Guardian story... every missle that lands in Bagdad and every casualty is caused by "American Missles".

What? Did they analyze the debris in every instance? Maybe it was an errant Iraqi anti-aircraft missle or anti-aircraft shell that injured this kid.

Not that I'm not sympathetic to the kids plight, but let's put it in perspective: How many Iraqi kids are being dug out of mass graves in Iraq today? How many don't have to kneel with their moms in front of mass graves and stare at the bodies already there before they too get shot in the head?

Why doesn't the Guardian tell those stories?

#2 Because they have to stick to reporting the obvious: in wars people usually get hurt, sometimes very badly.

#3 Guardian is a communist publication and any news that can be twisted to put our efforts at national defense in a bad light, the Guardian will damn sure publish it, making facts up if they have to.

#4 --split between Unicef, the British Red Cross and Save the Children (none of it has been spent directly on Ali - the papers did not claim that it would be, though it was all earmarked for use in Iraq).--

Why am I NOT surprised???!
