Heads are throbbing, sinuses are swollen, some are sneezing regularly and some are congested. This is not the smoke coming out of Iraqi oil wells, they’re all destined to be hollowed, rather, it is the smoke that is coming out regularly with the burning of bodies in flames of bomb blasts that has sadly been the order of the day in Iraq.
Iraq has been the scene of repeated bomb attacks by suicide bombers to incite Shiite revenge attacks and drag the country into full-blown civil war. At least 60 people have been killed and 148 hurt in two near-simultaneous bombings in a central Baghdad square in the recent reports or may be this one’s not the most recent, there might have been another couple of bomb blasts killing a few again when I am writing (this).
But what a heartbreaking report this one, you can be blown up just for trying to get a day’s work, and the figures of you and those who have died with you immediately surpasses by many others who have died in another bomb blast a few seconds later.
The first bomb, placed in a car, reportedly targeted a police patrol in a square frequented by Shia laborers and minutes later, a nearby suicide bomber detonated an explosive-packed pick-up truck after attracting day laborers with an offer of work. It is unclear if the first explosion took place in a parked car or in a vehicle driven by a bomber that rammed a police patrol.
Buried under the smoke
Many things in Iraq remains unclear, like, has the ‘civil war’ really started, perhaps, it has, and what exactly the coalition forces are planning to do now - run away, because the filth created by them has started stinking or carry on and whet their addiction. While they say in Washington that Iraq cannot be free to operate unless they see it’s safe out there on the streets of Iraq and not to forget the Republicans in the US regularly claimed the liberal media was ignoring signs of peace and progress and the American achievements in this ruined land.
An Iraqi government will only have real legitimacy and freedom to operate when US and British troops have withdrawn. Both the leaders have to accept that if Iraq is to survive at all, it would possibly be run by a Shia-Kurdish alliance because together they form 80 per cent of the population. But, thanks to Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair, the future of Iraq will be settled not by negotiations but on the battlefield.

According to which (the new constitution), it was decided that the new government would have to follow a new constitution that would form a Constitutional Review Committee that would look into the matters of amending constitution.
This idea was accepted with a thumping majority by the Shia and Ķurdish communities, but was tremendously rejected by Sunnis.
Since then the various factions have promoted violence across nations. Thus the ongoing strife have been encouraged by some religious extremists who wants Islamic Caliphate should rule where as, still supporters of old sectarian regime want back their power while others are fighting against what they view as a foreign occupation.
So I think the idea that the country should be ruled by ‘Shia-Kurdish alliance because together they form 80 per cent of the population’ won’t be feasible in here. Even if the US army reiterates the atmosphere of blood shed will continue along ethnic lines.
A roadmap for peace can always be initiated by the UN but lets face it - There is no UN without the US.
The first step for bringing peace into the region heavily relies therefore, on the US and its allies withdrawing forces. This is essential for real democracy to prevail.
these suicide bombings are the result of the revenge killings by all the communities be it Shia, Ķurdish or Sunnis. There is lack of trust between them as the result of the Saddam\’s rule.
the idea of united Iraq is now a distant dream and if ever the warring factions sit for peace talks they will divide Iraq or more blood shed will follow. Bush and Blair have just messed up the whole situation.
It’s the same old story here - you pull out daggers to chop off your brothers and people from outside would take the advantage. And when things go out of hand, you spend eons to take back what you dumped and never recognized that it was yours.
