The kid was probably safer in bagdad than in south central.

As of last night at 2300 EST, there had been 379 reported murders in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia.

“According to estimates by Kroll, Brazil averages about 800 kidnappings a year.”

Thanks Mike W for pointing out the lack of perspective on that 400 number.

As far as his getting into Iraq, I think it only proves that terrorists could get into Iraq with an airline ticket to Kuwait which would be hard to get if they’re on a watch list, or just a poor bum sort of terrorist. Though I’m sure they have no problem getting into Iraq other ways.

FYI: There have been 400-something murders in Tijuana just in the past year. Tijuana is a city about 3 feet from the United States, near San Diego. It really is difficult to grasp the outrage over 39 murders (of foreigners) over 2.5 years in all of Iraq.

You know, Mike, you’re right. It does prove how safe Iraq is! Leave it to the breathless MSM to then call it an anomaly.

This article illustrates how safe Iraq is. 39 foreigners killed in what, 2.5 years? How does that compare to other places the size of Baghdad or Iraq? Come on, a death zone?! It’s more of the same theme that Bush’s military action in Iraq has failed; which is totally not true.

It is amusing how these AP reporters are supposedly cowering in fear in their Baghdad office, unwilling to go out and report. My guess is these guys are just lazy and goofing off sitting on their butts playing Xbox, and this is a great excuse for filing few reports.

Traveling on his own in a land where insurgents and jihadists have kidnapped more than 400 foreigners, killing at least 39 of them, Hassan walked straight into a death zone.

I don’t remember seeing the “AMBER ALERT”. He certainly has more
courage than the journalists holed up in the Green Zone.

This answers my question about how easy it is for suicide bombers
from around the world to cross the border into Iraq.

Not for long, I saw his mom on TV this afternoon and she was like “yeah, his bank account is going to be closed and he’s never leaving this house again.”

This young male had access to a passport and too much money.
