Inspirational Resilience ~ Kids After Combat...

Warfare is perhaps the most catastrophically depraved of human foibles, especially when young kids are clobbered by combat or "terrorist" acts -- I know there's a difference, but can they tell? These all -- especially indiscriminate crusades and jihads -- are instantiations of irrational religious fervor in its most cult-like horror-mode. Amazingly enough, many of these brave boys and girls show the rest of us how to be resilient in the face of horror. Please join me in admiring here these truly inspirational heroes and heroines! Starting with Hajar, an 11-year-old Iraqi girl injured during the Iraq war... Muhammad, a 12-year-old Iraqi boy who was hit during the Iraq war... Hussein, a 7-year-old Iraqi boy who was burned during the Iraq war...
Phan Thị Kim Phúc after South Vietnamese bombed her village...Baby Baylee Almon hit by fundamentalist Christians in Oklahoma... Alas, for too many it's R.I.P. too soon. This surely is evil incarnate.
