Drummer "they are dancing in the streets" to avoid the suicide bombers, and are bringing "dead flowers" for their losses. Bush said the Iraqis would be "dancing in the streets and bestowing flowers" he just left out the WHY.

Armed Shiite groups are locked in a struggle for power in Shiite areas of the capital and in the Shiite heartland of the south, which includes major religious shrines and vast oil wealth. Control of the shrines offers not only prestige but access to huge sums of money donated by Shiites from around the world.



The key words in this is the "wealth" and "money" . There are multiple civil wars raging Shiite on Shiite, Sunni on Sunni and neither of those wars are about "religion" they are about "power and wealth" . Religion hijacked once again over "power and wealth" .
