Bad news, Slave. Your blogger seems to place great stock in the fact that Scheherezade's stories got more U.S.-friendly over time, but by that reasoning her most recent story is bad, bad news.

• As survivors tell it, the wedding party was in full swing. The band was playing tribal music and the guests had just finished eating dinner when, at about 9 p.m., they heard the roar of U.S. warplanes. Fearing trouble, the revelers ended the festivities and went to bed.
  
  About six hours later, the first bomb struck the tent.
  
  "Mothers died with their children in their arms," said Madhi Nawaf, who survived the attack Wednesday in Mogr el-Deeb on the Syrian border. Up to 45 people died -- mostly women and children from the Bou Fahad tribe.
  
  "One of them was my daughter," Nawaf told The Associated Press. "I found her a few steps from the house, her 2-year-old son Raad in her arms. Her 1-year-old son, Raed, was lying nearby, missing his head."

And so on. If true, it's really ugly.
