As presented, it doesn't make much sense...
Despite being busy I've been unable to avoid seeing and hearing - and as a result thinking - about the apparent murder of Margaret Hassan in Iraq. It makes virtually no sense unless it's seen to be an act by some group whose agenda is to justify further action against "insurgents" in Iraq. Some of this is ventured in this piece by Robert Fisk, someone who knew Margaret.
The question stands: The killing of a woman who'd lived in Iraq for 30 years, and who for years had spent almost every waking hour trying to get food, medicine and general relief to Iraqis who needed it -- whose agenda does this benefit? Is there a reasonable answer to that that isn't terrifying? (Thanks to Grant S. for passing that one along.)
