BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Insurgents attacked a U.S. convoy carrying fuel west of Baghdad Friday, killing at least nine people, witnesses said.
A Reuters photographer on the scene said he saw bodies burning inside the vehicles.

Chota - This may be a blessing, this fuel was most probably to aid the monstrous, muderous US war machine and was rightly stopped from getting to it’s destination. This act of mercy has probably saved the lives of innocent Iraqi children, women and men.
If the deaths of these 9 people can ensure the safety of one innocent then it is worth it.
U.S. does not want to hand over Iraq to another Saddam or to a group of people that dances on the dead. In the city of Kut Iraqis fought al-Sadr's supporters.

Of course not, because the US has just taken over Saddam in the brutality and murder of the Iraqi people.
Be it Fallujah, Ramadi, Baquba in the "Sunni triangle", Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf, Nasiriya, Amara or Basra in the "Shia south" and even in the cities of the Kurdish north, Iraqi's everywhere are fighting the American occupation.
The BBC is just reporting that yet another (Shia) member of the IGC has resigned in protest at the US terrorism against the Iraqi people. It's all coming apart everywhere...it's worse than Vietnam!

And so does ethnic and religous violence. How are things in La-La land?
Then pray the occupation ends soon and the UN steps into a role subserviant to the Iraqi people.
Arragonce and punitive bloodshed are not nation-building qualities. May the US suffer for generations after spilling the blood of so many innocents. Using Saddam as a measuring stick for its actions is repugnant.
Yep, and that negates and is going to end the hundreds year old cycle of ethnic and religous violence. They are now magically going to come together and forgive and forget. After all, they have such a long history of tolerance and repesenstation.

Yes, just like the tax-dodging freedom fighters who fought colonial occupiers a couple of centuries ago. But one does think that maybe a foreign invasion later on would have liberated the enslaved inhabitants of that land, but instead those poor people waited till just some decades ago to get their complete rights?
