lgf: Mass Murder in Iraq:

lgf: Mass Murder in Iraq:

"The U.S. military blamed al-Qaida in Iraq, and an American commander called the
assault an “act of ethnic cleansing.” The victims of Tuesday night’s coordinated
attack by four suicide bombers were Yazidis, a small Kurdish-speaking sect that
has been targeted by Muslim extremists who consider its members to be
blasphemers. The blasts in two villages near the Syrian border crumbled
buildings, trapping entire families beneath mud bricks and other wreckage.
Entire neighborhoods were flattened."


Violence like this might be blamed on Americans, but it should be blamed on Islam. I am beginning to wonder if Iraq is headed for a blood bath of biblical proportions no matter what the outcome with American troops is. When the violence is about the terrorists, then you can root out the terrorists. When the violence is about Sunni versus Shia, maybe you can settle the peace, and they will stop fighting when they form a government. An event like this is a window into a violent nature that doesn't want peace, unless it is the peace of submission. America has a lot to lose in Iraq, and it just may be facing a battle that it can't win.
