Bombings in Baghdad

On Friday a double suicide bombing went off in a crowded Baghdad market, killing 60-100 people. Al-Qaeda took responsibility for this attack, but the even more disgusting thing is that they used 2 mentally handicapped women as the bombers. This is either showing that they are getting extremely desperate, or they are just willing to up the sheer brutality of what they're doing. Things have been getting better in Iraq recently, as more people are starting to cooperate with the U.S soldiers, and this just shows an even greater distinction between them and us. I'm hopeful that this attack will further strengthen the conviction of the Iraqi people, as they will be repulsed by this sick attack.
