War

A lady with attitude.

From Asia Times comes this gem: Asia Times: A lady with real attitude.

I would seriously hate to be on the receiving end of her ire. Heh. How's this for attitude:

When the first American tank column arrived in Paradise Park, on the east bank of the Tigris River (the park that later produced the now-famous images of Saddam Hussein's statue being pulled down by an American tank) on the morning of Wednesday, April 9, they met a young woman who was still pulling on her shoes while running out into the roadway holding up a huge hand-lettered sign that read: "How many children did you kill today?"

Naturally, one of the tank operators lowered his gun barrel so that it pointed directly at Uzma's face. "Bring it on!" she screamed. "You bastards! Murderers! Go ahead and kill me, you pricks!"

Later, she crows that she reduced some poor infantryman to tears. This woman wasn't hurt by the bombing, she was just seriously, seriously pissed off!
