World news org. are not writing this story with a Shiite/Sunni slant in regards to actually carried out the bombings.If this is written with this type of conformity in the Iraqi press then it is adding to the violence unless the other news org. in Iraq have divulged more information than CBS has.All of this inside a fortnight since the protest and Sadr's cabinent resigning.
CBS news and there sources place blame on certain groups for the attacks that occur on what basis? Where is the evidence that specific groups do these attacks? A attack on Shiites has to be the result of the Sunnis or Al Queda? A attack on Sunnis has to be a attack from the Shiites?Certain individuals that are commanding the groups all want the same thing regardless of who they sacrifice and that is control of the nation and its wealth from the oil.In other words Shiites can jointly attack not only Sunnis but fellow Shiites and vice versa.By shifting the blame from one group to another instead of identifying the individual commanders of these groups that have ordered the attacks it perpetuates a constant equivalent retaliation.

"Obviously the level of fatalities today is a horrifying thing. But I think it illustrates another point: These terrorists are killing innocent men, women and children who are Iraqis. They're killing their countrymen," he said at a news conference in Tel Aviv with his Israeli counterpart, Amir Peretz.

Yup - SURE glad things are SO MUCHER BETTER in Iraq now that John McCain has been there and enlightened us. As bad as the tragedy at Virginia Tech was, they experience the same thing many times over in Iraq EVERY single day. If you consider that the US has ten times the population of Iraq, and roughly 100 people are killed in the sectarian violence (that the Bushies STILL refuse to call Civil war) it is more like they have a Virginia Tech massacre EVERY HOUR. I don%u2019t recall the same level of violence before our idiot-in-chief brought the Iraqis FREEDOM, LIBERERTY, DEMOCRACY, or whatever the euphemistic term-of-the-week used by the morons who got us into this mess. Bet they are REALLY glad that Bush freed them over there.

Note to Senator McCain's campaign people:

Tell the old *** to admit things are bad in Iraq. This just doesn't happen at the local mall in Arizona.

Amazing. The most killed in a single day since the surge began and it is buried on the back page of the news while the media milks every angle of the mass murder of 32 people and the suicide of the gunman. People who are gung ho for death, destruction and mayhem in Iraq under the guise of "giving them freedom and do not even flinch at the numbers of dead and wounded men, women, children and babies reported DAILY for 4 years, can somehow become super emotional about the deaths of 33 due to not so rare American style violence.


33 vs 233? Not even close, eh America?
Orwell was right in animal farm. "of course all animals are equal, but some animals are MORE equal than others"

RIP all who are falling these days on this, and the other side of the world due to our penchant for mayhem and violence--cloaked as a just cause.
