 The Brutality of Iraq’s Civil War DeepensPosted on Jul 9, 2006According to the AP: “Masked Shiite gunmen stopped cars in western Baghdad Sunday and grabbed people off the streets, singling out the Sunni Arabs among them and killing at least 41.” And lest you think it is only progressives who are calling it a “civil war,” check out what Colin Powell just told Arianna Huffington: We’re not going to leave behind anything we like because we are in the middle of a civil war.

President Maliki, quoted today on the front page of the Chicago Tribune, used the term “precipice” to describe the current situation in his country. Respected reporter Nir Rosen has analysed Iraq as being in a “civil war” for months now. Now Colin Powell is using the same term. The only question remaining is how many billions more we will pump into the morass after it collapses completely.

It is time we as American’s begin to accept the true, that this so-called invasion inorder to liberate and spread freedom in Iraqi has done nothing but spawn a civil conflict. A Civil War that had been predicted to take place once a power vacuum was created. Saddam Hussien was an dicator, he was also unjust and evil person. Yet where did we, stop, I don’t mean we, I mean those who call themselves our represenatives the right, and whose name I might add, to go off and create this situation. Can we now? By all means we should, but I fear now that we have already opened pandora’s box; and now there is now way we close the damn thing without creating an even screwed up situation. Will the Real President of these United States please stand up! Our country has been dumbed down to the point where people can be looking right at the true and not see it. That is real scary. Why has not somebody, I mean anybody asked the President why he has not ordered the oil companies to stop raising the price of gas. I mean after all, are we not at war, would it not be in the best intreats of the the country? Why do we, meaning people like myself sit at PC’s and protest in silence? Most American’s won’t even pick up a book, let alone travel to a library or bookstore. That is of course there’s even one of the either in their neighborhood. Yet we can trust that the reat of the world is watching us. The real question I afraid still is when was it the last time any of us stopped to take a long hard look at oursleves in the mirror.
