2. uh, sorry, but blaming this on Iraq is just plain stupid

A four year old boy finds a gun in a house, thinks it's a toy and aims it at his siblings and goes BOOM.

Doesn't have a bloody thing to do with Iraq or Bush or Rove or anything. It's just stupid fucking parents having hand guns in the house, where kids can get to them.
