Barbarism Alert - The Iraqis are at it again

Barbarism Alert -
Iraq is at it again

After the U.S. military pulled out of Iraq and left the governance of Iraq to Iraqis, the country went to hell in a handbasket.

279 people were killed in Iraq in recent weeks and hundreds more were injured. This goes on week after week all over the country.

Under Saddam Hussein's tyranny, Iraq's Sunni minority held a privileged position, while the Shiites were largely oppressed. But since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam, those dynamics have been flipped.

Now Islamic Sunnis are not happy with the ruling Shiite government of Iraq. And the Shiites are not happy with the unhappy Sunnis. So...they are blowing each other up daily and throughout the country.

Iraqis weep over the deaths of their
own loved ones but do they weep
for their countrymen? 

For months, bombs of all sorts have gone off outside of mosques, at military checkpoints, in teahouses, at police stations, in parked cars on busy streets, at sheep markets and at bus stops.

In other words, those who are doing this bombing are not targeting political leaders or military leaders but are targeting the average man, woman or child innocently walking on the street. They want to kill their fellow citizens.

The violence has raised fears the country is sliding back to the brink of civil war.

In other words - They're at it again.

A total of 4,486 U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012 in order to

stabilize this ***hole of a country. And hundreds of billions of dollars were expended that could have been used for positive purposes, like health care, disease research, food production and housing for people trying to live real lives.

God help us all. Jesus, Mary, all Saints and all Angels pray for us.

God save us from countries like Iraq. They wallow in blood because they want to and everyone else in the world wallows with them. Amen. 

Pray for Iraq.  Amen.
