re: #794 Occasional Reader

I read this morning in the paper that an Iraqi soccer player was killed because happy fans were firing bullets into the air in celebration of their team’s victory. One bullet went through this poor guy’s chest and killed him. You know, the Arabs and Muslim world want us to take them VERY SERIOUSLY but it’s pretty hard to take seriously a society that doesn’t even understand the basic concept of what goes up must come down and that if it’s a damned bullet, you can get very dead, very easily.
