BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Five-year-old Youssif is scarred for life, his once beautiful smile turned into a grotesquely disfigured face -- the face of a horrifying act by masked men. They grabbed him on a January day outside his central Baghdad home, doused him with gas and set him ablaze.

thats a bit harsh man,
but the article itself says that the motives are unknown.

right now its a criminal act, a terrible one, but you shouldn't display it as a terrorist act.

horrible story though, why would anybody do that to a kid? for any reason.

For hate, religious fanatism, money (the most frequent), personal conflict. Or just because he served as a means to highten tension in Irak and to show to the population that collaboration is not possible not even for a child. Living in a certain quarter of the city could be enough.
I would not speak of terrorism any more. It was predicted that the Irak war would have lead to a huge problem and a civil war zone of unknown dimensions. This happend as forseen.
So, now that we have George that says to us: remember Vietnam. If we pull out this will happen to everybody that collaborated with us. For one time I have to agree nearly fully to his view. He has infact a very good memory of what happened to the people that in the erroneous beleave that the US would have removed Sadam did stand up for democracy during the first Gulf War. Now at the end of the second it will just worse. But not different. In one thing I do not agree to his view: to speak about Vietnam is misleading here. Vietnam like circumstances will get more and more routine if the US deciedes to stay.
So let us speak of an act of crude civil war violence. That is coming probably closer to the truth.

Yes if you deliberately set somebody on fire for your own amusement then you are a terrorist.

By your definition the world is full of terrorists. A big part of them are living in the southern part of the US and are wearing white coats and are called members of Kuklux Clan.
If this is true "a war against terrorism" is pointless, no?
