Slightly more relevent to the situation.
Sorry everyone missed it, it's not got any evil Americans making stupid jokes in it.

"Two vehicles came and parked close to the parking lot. Four or five men left the vehicle, and we hear the noise, the shooting of the machine gun, it was so close, so loud and it was continuous."
Saleem and his wife hid behind a tree, but they could see who the gunmen were targeting.
"I start looking and they are shooting on the kids," he said. "Eight of the kids fell already on the ground. The guys kept shooting — they just wanted to make sure that everybody is dead."
The boys were Sunni and Shiite. They had been playing soccer.
The houses around the empty lot are owned by families of both sects. They have known each other for years. Until then, sectarian tensions had been kept in check, but the savagery of this attack sent them over the edge.
"And that is when I saw something that I will never forget in my whole life — they just went crazy," Saleem said. "Fathers, brothers, they get quickly inside their houses, they take their weapons and they start shooting on their neighbors."
It turned into a sectarian free-for-all.
"Shia start shooting Sunni houses, Sunnis start shooting Shia houses. They let the real criminals run away," Saleem said. "The men in the houses they lost their mind totally."
The battle lasted for two hours. The bodies of the young boys lay in the field until everyone's ammunition was spent.
Finally, in the late afternoon, the remains were collected.
The man who picked them up told Saleem he was startled by how light their little corpses were.
Nine children were killed in the attack. Saleem knew many of them.
Trouble in the neighborhood seems far from over. More men with guns from both sects have arrived.
The Shiite militiamen on one street, Sunni insurgents on another, and angry families in the middle of it all.

It was them dam US soldiers trying to cause trouble, which they succeeded in doing. Why would sunni or shia "militia" shoot the boys playing, both sunni AND shia playing together.
The real criminals, the crusaders who are two face, who kill secretly and cause trouble while openly pretend to be the friends and protectors of the land they occupy. May Allah destroy them all!

What was actually news-worthy about this exactly? A kid walks up to a humvee asking for candy...the soldiers are on duty and their nerves are already fried...do you expect them to just turn off that mentality to play games with a kid? The kid got the joke...why can't you? It's pretty straight forward...."I don't have any candy...want a grenade?" hahah...life goes on.

Hmm, In a Iraqi truck, dressed up in Iraqi clothing, with Iraqi weapons and all blacked up faces to appear like the Iraqi's.
And then they get shot by their own troops.
Its a lovely little westhating tinfoil rant you have going on there. it's the sort of denial that keeps the Terrorists going and the Iraqi's dying.

Perhaps we can all take up a collection of tinfoil. He is bound to run short at some point.

There seems to be a certain element of trust, almost friendship, in the way the young boy approaches the soldiers.
I detect no threat at all ...
And the scare of seeing the granade is only fleeting and resolves itself very quickly in laughter on both sides.
This video is showing a friendly relationship between a young boy and the soldiers. Encouraging to think that those exist, given the circumstances and duration of the Iraq conflict ...
Peace

Ok what up with all this negativity? (apart from Glo and maybe a few others who have actually tried to put some positivity back into the thread).
Seriously guys, quit negging out and go get a job or something or just try and be happy for longer than 5 minutes.
In fact, take a look at this emoticon and see if you can mimick it for the rest of the day, cus this thread be locked (on a positive note mind you):
