The perpetration of terror is always horrible. It knows no limits.
While reading that this AP message came in. It demonstrates once again that our conventional tactic can only squeeze one end of the ballon at a time. And doing that only causes it to blow up elsewhere.
The reason is quite simple. A fundamental advantage to insurgent warfare is the weaker party (the insurgent) gets to pick and choose the time and the battle space for every fight.

Attacks Kill 50 Iraqis, 8 U.S. Troops

TUZ KHORMATO, Iraq (AP) - Suicide bombings killed nearly 50 people and wounded dozens in two Shiite villages north of Baghdad, including a large truck explosion Saturday that ripped through an outdoor market and buried victims in rubble, officials said.

Separately, eight American troops and a British soldier were killed in fighting over two days.

The blasts suggested that Sunni militants are regrouping to launch their deadliest form of attack - suicide explosions, often against Shiites - in regions further away from Baghdad, beyond the edges of a three-week old U.S. offensive on the capital's northern flank.
