Oh now your getting news Al Jizzera ........... :rolleyes:

Must be a slow day at DU and the Daily Kooks.

Heartbreaking news this poor guy is selling his only child. Al Jizzera reported the Great Satan Bush decreed Iraqis must follow the one-child policy of the Peoples Republic of China. :sarcasm:

"Abu Muhammad, a Baghdad resident, found it difficult to let go of his daughter's hand but he had already convinced himself that selling her to a family outside Iraq would provide her with a better future."

:rolleyes: :bs:
Poor Abu might be upset about losing a body that does work around the house, but as far as losing a daughter, I doubt if he cares. Women are property, female children are at best an investment in a possible dowery at some point in the future. She's less important to him than a dog is here.

Maybe he and others like him should spend less time shopping around for buyers for their children and more time policing their freakin' country, starting with their own neighborhoods. Stop hiding the bad guys or hiding from them and start turning them in or killing them yourself. I don't think I'd wait for outside help and sell of my kids if my neighborhood turned to Shlt... I'd be stalking the streets with my AR or doing whatever I could to sabotage the bad guys.

Judging by stories like these, I wonder if Iraq is even worth fighting for? Let them sort out their own mess.
