At least 12 dead and 31 wounded

One of my former medics emailed me and asked,

"How can you shoot your fellow brothers.......... I am lost for words sir."
I replied,

"I don't know brother. As I studied the female suicide bombers from Diyala, the emotions of hate, anger, and revenge overtook rational thought, and they just wanted to kill themselves and take as many with them as they could. All we can do right now is take a knee and pray."
That's about all we can do at this point until it's all sorted out.
