They're Being Rocked with the Bombs of Freedom

This is just so very bad on so many different levels:

Insurgent fighters launched deadly attacks across Iraq on Saturday, killing a U.S. soldier and at least seven Iraqis in separate attacks.

The bombings took place on the 36th anniversary of the coup that brought the Baath Party, and eventually Saddam Hussein, into power.

The U.S. soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in northern Iraq. Five Iraqis died when a government minister's convoy was bombed in Baghdad, and an Iraqi National Guard officer was killed by a suicide bomber at his base in Mahmudiyah.
