CBS News has raw, unedited footage of yesterday’s car bomb blast as it happened at the UN compound in Baghdad. It’s disturbing, but worth watching. With the exception of 9/11, Americans have been comfortably isolated from the violence that afflicts much of the rest of the world. We’ve already forgot the lessons of 9/11. This video is a harsh reminder of what others are facing.
The attack on Iraq was misguided and poorly planned. Violence only begets more violence. The tape doesn’t lie.
