They killed 20 of their own children in the name of Allah. This insanity must stop

Will you join me in prayer. Eze 22 says "I sought for a person who would stand in the gap and make up a hedge of protection" .... so I did not have to let them kill them selves.
The wrath of God is revealed by giving mankind over to his own insanity. And letting mankind do those things that will kill him. Romans 1.

Only prayer will stop this insanity in the name of a false God.
We are at war my friends and must pray.
In Isaiah it says "I looked for an intercessor and was amazed I could not find one."

ARE THERE ANY INTERCESSOR'S OUT THERE

to hit this mainly Shiite (search) city since the U.S.-led occupation began a year ago. Casualty numbers were in flux.

Iraqis pulled charred and torn bodies from mangled vehicles in front of the Saudia police station, located by Basra's crowded main street market. Two vans carrying schoolchildren were destroyed, one carrying kindergardeners, the other carrying middle-school girls. Dead children, burned beyond recognition, were taken to hospital morgues.

British military spokesman Squadron Leader Jonathan Arnold said the blasts were believed to have been caused by car bombs. However, Iraqi Police Col. Kadhem al-Muhammedawi said rockets may have been fired.

Iraqi Interior Minister Samir Shaker Mahmoud al-Sumeidi blamed "terrorists." He said the Basra attacks resembled suicide bombings earlier this year against Shiites and Kurds that killed hundreds and were blamed on foreign Islamic militants.

"The information we have indicate that the attacks were carried out with car bombs," al-Sumeidi said. "As for who is behind Basra attacks, it is clear that that the fingerprints of the parties that were behind the massacres in Iraq as in Irbil and Karbala can be seen in today's attacks."

There was no immediate word who was behind the attack and al-Sumeidi said it was not yet clear whether the car bombs were set off by suicide bombers. U.S. officials have accused foreign Islamic militants in deadly suicide bombings in February against Shiite holy sites in Najaf and Baghdad aimed at sparking a Sunni-Shiite civil war in the country.

Basra Police Commander Mohammed Kadhim al-Ali said the cars were packed with missiles and TNT.

The bombings brought yet another front of violence as U.S. forces are locked in a standoff with a radical Shiite cleric in the holy city of Najaf and Sunni insurgents in the central city of Fallujah (search).

Anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's (search) militia was active in Basra, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad, during the early days of its uprising across the south this month. But its gunmen targeted coalition troops and the fighting died down in Basra after only a few days.
