a police station somewhere in Iraq, the place was about to be hit by a suicide bomber riding a vehicle laden with explosives.The driver approaches the entrance to the station which is surrounded by concrete walls. Several police officers open fire from their ak-47's on the incoming suicide bomber but he keeps closing in.As the vehicle passes through the gate and past the last barricade all of the officers run away seeking shelter…except for one extraordinary man.
One police officer held his position and was still standing in the way of the terrorist and kept on firing his rifle at the windshield until the vehicle was just meters from the officer, then…BOOM.
End of video….
And this act of heroism appears in the paper the next day as: 2 killed in car bomb. Mohammed protests:
So the policeman is a victim and the bomber too is a victim?…it sounds so cruel and unfair. A man who died to save his colleagues and a beast who killed himself to kill others cannot and must not be both counted as victims.One is an anti-life criminal while the other is a hero, but on paper, some idiots describe them both as victims of the war.
And Mudville Gazette comments:
Wherever you are in the world, there are more people who will seek shelter in that last moment than there are those who will stand....
There are few people in America who will ever find themselves in such a situation. There are countless more who want to send a message to men like that Iraqi police officer: "You're on your own, pal" and another message to his killers: "You're winning, keep it up."
