Iraqi gunmen mow down 9 children

This is gut wrenching. Aside from being detestable and abhorrent it's just plain stupid. The most effective way to galvanize the Iraqi people against their cause is to perpetrate this sort of inhuman barbarity.

BAGHDAD, March 26 (UPI) -- Machine gun-toting guerrillas in Baghdad gunned down a mixed Shiite-Sunni group of children playing soccer in a park, The Times of London reported.

The incident happened Saturday when two cars carrying four or five men wearing tracksuits pulled up to the park, witness Selim Amer told a Times correspondent.

"I started looking and they are shooting the kids," he said. "Eight of the kids already fell on the ground. The guys kept shooting, they just wanted to make sure everyone was dead."
