Today, a suicide bomber killed dozens of Iraqi citizens in Hillah:
A suicide car bomber blasted a crowd of police and national guard recruits Monday as they gathered for physicals outside a medical clinic south of Baghdad, killing at least 115 people and wounding 132 - the single deadliest attack in the two-year insurgency.

Torn limbs and other body parts littered the street outside the clinic in Hillah, a predominantly Shiite area about 60 miles south of Baghdad.

It is difficult to see any good news in a story like this one, aside from the fact that there is one less terrorist. That gain is little comfort in the aftermath of this kind of loss.

The obvious intent of the terrorists is to either eliminate or deter citizens from joining the organizations responsible for protecting the populace. Recent bombings seem to have galvanized the general public into standing against the agents of terror. I pray that an attack of this magnitude fails to soften their will.
