"[I]f my son dies, I will drink from al-Zarqawi's blood."

I've always wondered if the leftist goal of making everyone place the blame for every single death in Iraq on President Bush was working in Iraq itself. I got at least a partial answer in this article:

Outside the door to the refrigerated room, Amjad's sobbing mother called his name over and over, as if to summon him back to life. Then she looked up and asked: "What did he do to deserve this? They are killing children. Why? Why?"

Amjad and more than a dozen other children from east Baghdad's al-Khalij neighborhood were among the 27 people killed when a suicide bomber drove into a crowd that had gathered around U.S. soldiers who were handing out candy and small toys, police said.

...

"The kids were laughing and playing with the soldiers when the suicide bomber drove his car bomb very fast into the crowd and blew himself up, killing all the kids who were around the soldiers, and some cleaners who were there," said a police officer, Ali Hussein.

...

"I do not know how anyone in the world - whether they believe or do not believe in God - could do something like kill a kid," he said. The attackers "are after us and the American forces, and we understand that because we are after them, too. But how could they hurt those innocent kids?"

...

As Zahra Abdulla walked slowly behind the wheelchair that was carrying her son, Talal Ali, 9, out of surgery on his wounded left leg, she recalled the bedlam she witnessed when she rushed out of her house upon hearing the explosion. "Blood and bits of flesh were everywhere. I was lucky I found Talal and brought him here," said Abdullah, 28. "Thank God, his condition is better than the others. I feel terrible for the other boys. Why are they attacking children?"

In the shattered neighborhood, children's shoes and sandals lay in the street. Piles of ruined possessions pulled from the wrecked homes still smoldered a few hours after the attack. Neighbors argued over whether the Americans should be blamed for attracting the children and creating a target for attack.

A woman whose son had been wounded and taken to the hospital said responsibility lay solely with the insurgents and their leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. "I swear to God," said the woman, who identified herself as Umm Salam, "if my son dies, I will drink from al-Zarqawi's blood."

The "insurgents" are nothing but vicious, bloodthirsty, murderous monsters who will do anything and kill anyone in their attempt to regain power. And I think they know that the leftists in America will blame every single death on President Bush and America instead of themselves. Fortunately, at least some of the Iraqis aren't falling for it.
