EVIL
A car bomb exploded outside the home of a tribal leader in a city west of the Iraqi capital on Wednesday, killing a child, in the latest in a series of attacks aimed at U.S. allies.

The explosion in Ramadi targeted the house of Amer Ali Suleiman, according to his cousin, Yasser Ali. Suleiman is a leader of the Duleim tribe, one of the largest Sunni Muslim tribes in Iraq. He is a member of the city council and is close to the Americans. Suleiman was not injured but at least one child was killed, Ali said.

And more evil

Bomb blasts have hit the British consulate and a London-based bank in Istanbul, Turkey, and officials say at least 25 people have been killed and nearly 400 injured...

The explosions came five days after 25 people died in suicide bombings outside two Jewish synagogues in Istanbul. The bombers in those attacks have been identified as Turkish men who share the philosophy of the al-Qaida terrorist network.

An unidentified caller to Turkey's Anatolia news agency claimed that al-Qaida and a Turkish Islamic militant group jointly were responsible for Thursday's blasts. The claim could not be confirmed.

Bombings. Iraqi city councilmen. Turkish synagogues. British banks in Turkey. Bali night clubs. And on and on.

The war is global, whether you've joined it or not.

And consider this...if they are striking this regularly outside of the USA...it says to me that we are doing something right in making it damned difficult to strike within the USA
