I never take pleasure in loss of life, but this couldn't have happened to a nice bunch of people, generally speaking. It really takes the revolutionary fun out of it when the victims are your own colleagues as opposed to some nameless faceless "Enemy" taken out in the name of the "Revolution". Of course blaming the usual suspects , who had no part at all in this whatsoever, is also part and parcel of this--so sad!

What a pity that AhMADinejad wasn't there, Cal.
A case of chickens,or should I say suicide bombers, coming home to roost.

Is this bomber also getting Paradise with all 72, or killing Muslims of different sect doesn't earn them the full Prize?

Thank you David. Actually, things are even more difficult: is quantity converted into quality?
