"Seven gored at Pamplona bull run"
 
From news.bbc.co.uk: "Seven people have been gored by bulls during the sixth day of this year's annual bull-running festival in the northern Spanish town of Pamplona.
 
Local authorities said three people were in a serious condition and had undergone operations in hospital.[..]"

Running with the Bulls in Pamplona is for wimps. They wanna prove how brave they are? I've got a better idea. It's called Runnin' With Al Qaeda .. through narrow casbah-like streets in 117 degree heat, loaded down with full gear .. all the while dodging bullets, IEDs and missiles .. don't forget suicide bombers, beware of those flying bone fragments.....
 
This amazing feat of courage and strength is performed everyday in Afghanistan and Iraq by American military men and women and their allies. That's true bravery.
 
Not some silly men in red kerchiefs swatting bulls on the butt.
