I thought I heard somebody say 'The world is safer.'
Saw someone - can't remember who - say this on TV today:
And as a result of their bravery and their skill, the country is now more secure, the United States people are more secure, the world is going to be more peaceful, and the Iraqi people are now free from the clutches of an incredibly brutal dictatorship.
That was early this afternoon. By 9:30 tonight, someone proved him wrong for the second time in a week:
At least 20 people were killed in at least four separate bomb attacks in Morocco's commercial capital Casablanca on Friday night, the state news agency said.Jewish, Spanish and, apparently, Belgian targets were also struck, the MAP agency said. Three of the blasts were car bombs. Two policemen and a security guard at a Spanish center were among the dead. Glass, blood and debris littered the scenes.
``There are body parts all over the place,'' Moroccan journalist Aboubakr Jammai told the BBC, describing an eyewitness account from the Spanish center. He said at least one of the explosions involved a suicide bomber.
Against a background of a worldwide terror alert, this was the first major attack of its type in Morocco in recent years.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
But, Blah, none of the dead were American, so Jetboy's remarks still apply. He didn't say that OTHERS would be more secure. And besides, if they're not Americans, who cares, right?
