True, the poor little Iraqi girl's brother played a trick on her putting the gun to her ear and pulling the trigger.
Poor little bastard. It must have surprised the hell out of him.

"There, you deserved it, Fatima."

And true, CNN was there, at the army hospital when a scant 30 minutes later the child was carried in, not breathing. God HELP US!

The young army Doctor sprang to his feet and we saw him run to care for the six year old as they lay her on the gurney, dot scramble blur to protect her innocence, as he opened an airway for her to breath. [These things happen so quickly. Good editing CNN].

Zooming in we peer into her aural cavity and hear the Doctor proclaim, "Yes, there it is". The nurses bandage her head. Completely. It's not until we we witness the poor Doctor on the phone to his superior, describing the wound, and identifying the bullet's passing through her brain stem that no, there is no hope for her. One may have guessed.

Such a story we will never see or hear on Al Jazeera. Thankyou for protecting our better sensibilities, Mr. Munster.

Why do I feel fed?
Why do I feel blind?
Why do I feel outrage?
Why do I feel disgust?
Why do I feel contempt?
Why do I feel astonished?
Why do I feel to cry?
Why can't I puke?

Could it be the multi-million eyes and ears of ignorance? Or, that they warned us the broadcast contained graphic scenes not for the faint of heart?

WAKE THE FUCK UP!  You need a smoke!
