What's it like to be Iraqi in Baghdad

Hi. Okay, long time no post. And, don't worry, Randy, I'm just visiting ;-) But, I saw this quote in the Times today from an Iraqi who witnessed the bombing in a Baghdad marketplace over the weekend, and I just wanted to share it with somebody.

“I wish they would attack us with a nuclear bomb and kill us all so we will rest and anybody who wants the oil — which is the core of the problem — can come and get it. We can not live this way anymore. We are dying slowly every day.”

I have my opinions about the war; how we got there and what we should be doing now. But, that's not why I'm posting this. I just felt this was a powerful reminder of the human tragedy unfolding in that country. Its heartbreaking.
