It’s Official. And Getting Worse.
by tristero
Iraq’s civil war worsened Friday as Shiite and Sunni Arabs engaged in retaliatory attacks after coordinated car bombings that killed more than 200 people in a Shiite neighborhood the day before. A main Shiite political faction threatened to quit the government, a move that probably would cause its collapse and plunge the nation deeper into disarray.
Emphasis added.
Any questions why it is immoral to invade a country that is not an imminent threat? Any questions why it is the height of idiocy to claim you can impose democracy by force? Any questions why Richard Cohen should resign and get psychiatric help for opining America needed some therapeutic violence after 9/11?
Finally, any questions why anyone who gave five minutes of study to the situation – except rightwingers and others with third-rate minds – could see this coming long before American tanks rolled over the border and the deaths and atrocities started to mount?
PS. Special note to all the liberal hawks who supported the invasion: It’s gonna get a lot worse. Guaranteed. And your apologies and contrition mean nothing.
