23 explosions went off in Iraq

Very frightening. Bombs went off in Kirkuk, Baghdad, Tuz Khurmatu, and Nasariyah earlier today. 200 people wounded, 31 dead. Lots of car bombs. If you live anywhere near those places be careful  sad  I've friends in Kirkuk, I talked to them and they were fine though thankfully

Lots of bombs everywhere today. I'm really disappointed and frustrated.

doesnt that make it even worse, knowing that people are needlessly killed
the loss of life anywhere, no matter how frequent, is still really saddening and disturbing

Violence there is probably a lot higher than you're used to seeing, but no, 23 bombs and 31 deaths from them in one day is not a normal thing for Iraq

a+ for efficiency I guess

but yeah, this was very sad, and the fact that someone killed so many people is sickening.

Um... It's just like saying "Stop this nonsense Richard!" Nonsense would fit in there more. I'll add this.

Re: 23 explosions went off in Iraq

It's nice to see someone who cares about this; with the bombs in Boston, all I can think about is how this is just such a massive thing for us, but then middle eastern and African nations have things like this happen pretty frequently and no one cares; it just doesn't seem fair.

We classify animals on whether or not they need to eat other to survive and you want to say this

It really isn't fair that what country you were born in matters so much in whether or not you're going to have to fear for your life daily. I wish everyone had the comfort and security we do here n Canada/America but as long as people hate each other and are as careless as they can be I don't think it's possible ):

I don't mean to sound selfish but I probably would have cared less if I didn't have friends in Kirkuk. It takes something hitting too close to you to get you to care sometimes. This kind of thing happens every few months there pretty much and I get so worried when I see articles like this )):

It's interesting how the Boston bombings are getting a lot of coverage on the news and this is hardly mentioned

RIP everyone who died

If animals couldn't think they'd all plop over dead.

No. Animals can think, but not like humans do.
