Bring ‘em on: 114 people killed and more than 156 wounded in Baghdad in Iraq's second deadliest bombing since the war began. The bomber drew the men to his vehicle with promises of work before detonating the bomb, which contained up to 500 pounds (220 kg) of explosives. Eleven people killed in a car bombing in northern Baghdad as they queued to fill gas canisters.

Scenes from the bombing: The bodies of the dead and the dying lay slumped on the cold tile floors of Baghdad's Kadhimiya hospital on Wednesday, the bloody victims of one of Iraq's deadliest suicide bombings.

Weeping relatives were left to hold up bags of saline for the wounded after equipment ran out in the hospital, one of the city's busiest. Wards overflowed, leaving dozens lying in shock on the floor, desperate for treatment.

The ground was littered with blood-stained bandages and empty plastic bags of medicine, while the corridors echoed with the screams of patients, some of whom lost limbs in the blast.

"Oh Ali! Ali!" cried one man through a grimace, invoking the grandson of the Prophet Mohammad, a revered Shi'ite imam.

Stunned doctors in white coats tried to assess the worst cases and decide who could wait, who needed urgent surgery and for whom it was already too late.

One man, half naked and curled up in a ball on the grime- ridden floor, shook uncontrollably, his body still in shock from the attack. Doctors stepped over him, and the pool of blood around him, as they tended to even worse cases.

Og ét hundrede procent af skylden for hvert eneste af disse dødsfald må lægges et hundrede procent på Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney og deres øvrige medskyldige, herunder Tony Blair og Anders Fog. Hvad med de mennesker, der udfører og planlægger disse morderiske angreb på uskyldige civile?

De har også hundrede procent af ansvaret - det kan, som regnskabet efter Holocaust også viste, sagtens lade sig gøre.

Men Bush og hans medskyldige vil aldrig kunne sige sig fri for det frygtelige ansvar efter en mislykket, ulykkelig krig.
