horrifying
The events in Fallujah today are unspeakable in their brutality, there seems to be a beast on the loose in those streets that won't subject to reason or control. What kind of sick perverts burn, mutiliate, drag the dead on the streets and then string them over a bridge as a final outrage? Is this just an Iraq issue? Or is most, if not all humanity, susceptible to such insane behavior? The incident brings back to mind the burning of Graham Steins, an Australian missionary, some years ago in the Indian state of Orissa and of the burning down of a train compartment filled with people in Godhra, Gujrat, an incident that sparked off retaliatory attacks and some of the worst communal riots in Indian history. I can only hang my head in shame and horror at this latest example of the depths man is capable of.
