For my friends who frequent the Messenger and Advocate; but, do not journey further into the Bloggernacle (which by the way you really should) I’ve posted about one of the most tragic stories I have ever read on the Iraq war over at The Bloggernacle Times.

Returned LDS Missionary May Have Committed Suicide Rather Than War Atrocities

That’s the most tragic story you’ve read? I mean it’s tragic and all although I tend to agree with those who suggest we don’t leap to too many conclusions. But I’d say the little toddler girls horribly burnt at a family wedding by a suicide bomber last weekend was far worse. Indeed I think worse things happen almost every week.

Clark, You point is well taken; but, what I said was one of the most tragic. I don’t have a tragic meter with which I can measure these horrible events that come from this war. As I said on the BT thread on this post, I think that what struck me so hard about this story is that Sister Peterson was one of our own so to speak. Clearly equally bad (or worse) things to happen all the time.
