Not so much surprised as saddened and somewhat ashamed.

Not everybody knew it was coming and some probably are still in denial it happens. And others couldn't give a shit. Too busy waving their respective flags.

From the start to the present date it is a war of lies, deciept and attrocity. Commited by 'our' soldiers. I missed the part in Bush and Blairs war mongering where they told the voters that their armed forces couldnt be trusted not to slaughter innocent men, women and children.
