According to an Italian newspaper, American and Iraqi forces have identified an Iraqi doctor, head of a hospital for mental illness, as the man who supplied the terrorists with two Down's Syndrome victims who were then sent into the crowd at a pet market in Baghdad a week or so ago. Apparently this man gained his job because his predecessor, whose deputy he used to be, had refused to allow the terrorists to use his patients as human bombs, and had been murdered in consequence.

And there are those who say we ought to negotiate with these creatures.

These "Creatures"? That is strong language. If every paedophile/serial killer in America were to be taken as the token American personality, then it would be just as easy to call the Americans "Creatures". What about the Iraqi doctor who was killed because he tried to protect his patients?

Generalization is never a good thing.

Perhaps you imagine that I am saying that we are at war with the Iraqi doctor. I cannot see why. It should have been clear that I was speaking about his murderers (among their other crimes). Please read what I write.
