I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
This is a good ending for Arab terrorists. I bet they will get their 72 virgins...except that their "virgins" are all male demons.

There are also reports on Iraqi sites that 'jihadis' are not volunteers, but that Al Queda holds their families hostage.I hope not. I hope they were volunteer jihadis, in which case we should be celebrating.
But let's all not overlook the civilian who was also killed in the blast.
