People who have had an impact on the lives of the Iraqi people: Saddam Hussein. George W. Bush. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Margaret Hassan.

Only one person in that list has ever cared about the lives of ordinary people in Iraq. Margaret Hassan didn’t work for Saddam Hussein. She didn’t work for George Bush or Tony Blair. She was a true humanitarian worker, employed by CARE International. She had lived in Iraq for thirty years.

Now it appears she is dead—murdered by kidnappers who would like us to believe they are Iraqi patriots, insurgents fighting the hated American occupation of Iraq.

By murdering this true friend of the Iraqi people, they have unmasked themselves. There can be no doubt that these killers are enemies of Iraq.
