Summary:  Two days after a hostage standoff at a Catholic church in Baghdad, at least 63 people were killed and 285 others were wounded.  Shiite neighborhoods were even hit in a wave of explosions.  In fact, 14 explosions struck areas all across the city.  Ten were car bombs, three were roadside bombs, and another was a sticky bomb, in which they refer to as a device that’s placed on an object, many times a vehicle.  No U.S advisory units had been requested to the scenes of the attacks.

Response: I feel sorry for them. My heart goes out to all of the people, their family, and friends who have to endure pain like this that’s not happening in the U.S.  My heart goes out to all the families who are affected by this incident. In a sense I feel that it’s unfair that people like them have to go through things like this on a regular day basis, and the U.S doesn’t.  I would love for there to be world peace, but obviously there are people who are impervious to what I think.
