Casualty of the Iraqi Madness

I couldn't help but feel sorrow for a little boy, Youssif, 5 years old in Iraq, who was mutilated by burns, as a result of some cowardly act by some masked men, all in the name of "freedom". I included the pictures, so we can all see how the "jihadists" are working against fundamental rules of humanity;

It's a sad day when the bright life of a young one is complicated, sure to cause grief in his later years, even with the help that is being promised from around the world. I hope that all the news channels will move Youssif's story into the headlines, and forget about Michael Vick already.

There are numerous causes out there to help him, and I plan to make a donation to help his cause. I think it would be a great idea, if we all, as bloggers, could create a trust fund for his future, and make something available for his future...whether it be post secondary education, or enough funds to get his whole family out of there, I think we can, as a group, make a difference.

Feel free to use my "make a donation" button in the sidebar, no matter how small, and I will pass on the net proceeds to the fund to help him. I am donating $14, so I challenge all of you to do the same. I will submit the net proceeds under the name of "Bloggers for Humanity".

Let's hope we don't have to read any more stories like this in the future.
