Why?

Parts of the world are in a turmoil, and yet out of all this bad news there comes a story that is so tragic it seems to put all this distant trouble out of our minds and brings our thoughts closer to home.

I refer of course to this tragic story of a couple and their young boys who it seems had everything to live for, and who took their final holiday on distant shores.

Did all this start with a tragic accident, and was later followed by the Father's suicide, but why surely he still had much to live for, his four son's for instance?

May this couple rest in peace, and may their sons manage with the passing in time, to get over this tragedy and lead a long and happy life.

I 100% agree.

The killing of 85 civilians a fortnight ago by NATO bombs on a residential area in Libyan pales into insignificance by comparison.

Do you constantly have to take every opportunity to voice your anti-West anti-British rhetoric?

it sickens me to think that even you would sink to such a level in reply to such a sad story.

I think by doing so this time you will have alienated yourself to some of your most ardent supporters.

[Gromit]

I have not been anti British. Nor anti west.

NATO killed dozens of women and children in a tragic accident. I have always regarded suicide as a selfish act, and if it proves the father took his own life leaving his children orphanec, then that confirms my opinion.

I hope these children do recover, as I hope the children orphaned in Libya also recover.

Relatives have describe speculation on the deaths as 'hurtful' and 'malicious'.

You cannot undo what you initially said.

There was no need at all to introduce the point about the NATO killing (you craftily added the word accidentally afterwards) of 85 civilians.

This had nothing whatsoever to do with the story about this tragic family.
