Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice. Passive acceptance of evil is not a virtue.

Deadly blasts hit Iraqi cities
Bombs have exploded in three Iraqi cities killing at least 15 people.
In the deadliest attack on Monday a suicide car bomber killed at least seven people and wounded 15 others at a security checkpoint in western Iraq, police said.
"In another suicide attack on Monday, a man dressed as a policeman killed four people and injured 20 more after detonating his explosive vest next to a Shia mosque in Baquba, the capital of Diyala province, police said. Worshipers were gathering for evening prayers at the time, in the city 65km northwest of Baghdad, the capital. A separate incident also occurred in Kerbala, a mostly Shia city 80km south of Baghdad, where a bomb exploded on a bus. The blast killed four people and wounded another eight, police said. Ramadi was once a key al-Qaeda stronghold following the US-led invasion of 2003, but violence has significantly decreased since 2006, when local tribes sided with the US military." </span>
