Punishing the good and killing the innocent

Sunshine has a terrible story on her blog today.

My mom's cousin M , (she is a doctor) went to her job in Al-mahmoodeya hospital , then after few hours , she heard a very loud explosion , it was a bomb car exploded in the hospital , my grandma called her to see how is she doing , did she got hurt or not ? she said ...
"I was in the delivery room when one of my patient's just gave birth to a nice healthy baby , then I heard a very loud explosion , & things falling on me , I tried to go out to see what is going on in the hospital, I was covered with blood & I saw horrible views , dead bodies , even some of my friends died" ... she said "the national guards were like angels they helped me & saved my life"...
it was a miracle that she is a life , anyway , Dr. M said that our brave national guards helped her to go out from the hospital , because they had to close some of the hospital's loop-holes , they were expecting another bomb-car ..in her way-out she saw her patient dead (the new mother) ...
& that all because the Americans soldiers were in the hospital giving the children toys !!
50 Iraqis died & 4 Americans , that what I heard in the news ...

It was Sunshine's aunt, actually; Sunshine is an Iraqi blogger who lives in Mosul.

The worst part for me, reading the story, was seeing that the woman who had just given birth was killed.
