Video remembrance of four Iraqi dead: puts a human face on the cold numbers

[beachmom]

This comes from Iraqi blogger Konfused Iraqi Kid, who lost 4 college friends this past June in a roadside bomb. They were going out for ice cream when the bomb went off. These kids were in college; they are not insurgents, terrorists, in militias, nor were they in the Iraqi national army. They were civilians and now they are gone. Watch the video, and tell me you can't relate a little to them. They are not the caricatures we see on TV; they are human, and our souls should cry out for their loss:

And, yes, I am a shameless promotor of Iraqi blogs, because they are risking their lives to try to bring us the truth.
