"The Americans did it"

According to Alaa, an al Arabiya reporter claimed that "most people are saying" that it was American (or British, not really clear from Alaa's post) Helicopters that caused the carnage yesterday in Basra.

Alaa's having none of it, and, I presume, neither is anyone else. This is what he has to say about the reporter and those who carried out those attacks:
You murder children and don’t even have some remnant of decency left to at least keep quiet, but have to blame it on others, to shelter the true criminals. But let me just tell you this: Every little drop of blood from a severed limb of a child going to school, every school bag with their books and pencils strewn on the scene of the crime, the little poor shoes soaked in blood with bloodied remains of little feet still inside them; these before anything else spell your eternal damnation. You have no God. I mean you may think that you have a God, but it is some terrible bloodthirsty figure of hate and rage, a figment of your insane imagination; most certainly not the Compassionate the Merciful Allah we believe in. Your filthy beards and turbans are covered with blood and excrement forever, rabid dogs, unbelievable monsters, misanthropes.
