Across Iraq yesterday, suicide bombers attacked security posts and a wedding killing at least 54 people and injuring 77 more. This is the madness of blind fury, set off by the U.S. War and occupation and continued by a Shia controlled government that attacks some Sunni leaders http://original.antiwar.com/updates/2013/08/22/54-iraqis-killed-as-suicide-bombers-attack-security-posts-and-wedding/
For now there is no stopping it as this eye for an eye ferociousness continues and the Iraqi men, women and children are thrust in the middle. Consider that each time government soldiers or police are murdered, their families lose a loved one and often a much needed provider.
And imagine the level of hopelessness that exists to create so many suicide bombers.
Dear Reader, it is my hope that at some point the government will call for a cease fire and sit down with its adversaries and act in good faith to reach a peace. It will be in that peace that Iraq can rebuild itself and offer security, employment, education, 24 hour electricity and medical care for its people.
