Unless, of course, they aren't *really* women and children BUT 
MEMBERS OF AL-QAEDA IN DISGUISE!!!!!!!!

Andrew Sullivan is already injecting yet another poisonous meme into 
the bloodstream of the body politic: that the fact that Iraqis are 
attacking M1A1 tanks with pickup trucks mounting bazookas is evidence 
not that they are brave defenders of their country against foreign 
invaders BUT BRAINWASHED MUSLIM FANATICS LIKE THOSE WHO DESTROYED THE 
WORLD TRADE CENTER WHO CANNOT BE REASONED WITH BUT MUST BE 
KILLED!!!!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!!
