I was similarly affected when I saw the picture of the little boy minutes before he was killed.
And I also couldn`t stop thinking about him and wondering what the world has come to.
And then I saw another picture of a two year old girl, dead in the arms of her father, thanks to the Israeli army.
And now I hear the ``Ariel Moron`` called Barak has issued an ultimatum to the victims of Israel.
And the US and the rest of the world watch the show.
Another Bosnia? Ethnic cleansing in the name of war.
It makes me sick.

Urstruly:
It was touching write-up. I wasn`t sure if you were quoting someone or you were expressing your emotions. The latter point seemed more valid here as it affirmed the reader of your juvenile traits :-) On a serious note, it was indeed a thoughtful post.

AAM-UL-FEEL; THE YEAR OF THE ELEPHANT
All day today I have been thinking about Mohammed Rami ad-Dorra. For some of us it might be just another name; the 8 year old who was murdered right in front of his father and the whole world three days ago.
Please forgive my jay walking today; I cannot focus my mind on anything. I have no idea where to start this post. The focus keeps on shifting from Mohammad to Commander Laila Khalid to firefly Nada Al Husseini; George Habash to Yasser Arafat; Hamas to Fatah; Amal to Hizballah; Popular Front to PLO; Yasmin Shaheed to Yehya Ayyash Shaheed.
I also think of the little birds like Mohammed; the Children of Paradise; Our 8 or 9 year old Ghazi Salahuddins, our Tipu Shaheed,and our Ali Asghars of this time. Who could have thought that these little Ababeels could bring the Abraha of this time to his knees with their slingshots?
Our little angels! we believe in you. Now that you are closer to Him, please tell Him not to judge us all from the few among us who can blow their trumpets and drums louder than our voices. They tell me that your Jihad is useless; it has nothing to do in this day and age. They tell me that, ``it is economy stupid``. May be I am stupid. Perhaps I ask stupid questions. When I ask them how many dollars it costs to buy freedom they laugh at me. When I ask them which stock exchange deals in ``self-determination`` they wink at each other. When I ask them which ATM dispenses off ``self-respect to a nation`` they look the other way. May be I am stupid.
They tell me His word is old and useless now. It should be discarded just like their old shoes and clothes that they throw out in the United Way canister on a sunny weekend. I wonder if they have thrown their mothers and fathers in those canisters too since they are old and fragile and useless too?
My fallen angels! my Mujahids! Tell Him that Abraha has brought his army again. Is it the year of the Elephant again?
