3 state solution coming soon, i fear if this breaks into civil war. Oil for peace will go the way of land for peace and a second West Bank will be created. "Meet the New boss, same as the old boss."

Reading Zayed and ITM made me realize that Baghdad streets switched from traffic jammed to empty after this attack. All this time, MSM reporters have been saying what a war zone Baghdad was. I don't connect "war zone" with "traffic jam." A war zone with rush hour traffic jams must be a new phenomenon in human history. A war with the press as prime targets is also new.

Heard some reporter talking about the situation in Baghdad today on NPR. Christopher somebody, didn't catch his last name. When Teri Gross asked him if there were going to be big protests in the Muslim world outside of Iraq over the bombing of the Samarra mosque, he answered no, you wouldn't expect that because there were big concentrations of Shia only in Iraq, Iran and Southern Lebanon (eastern Saudi Arabia too, but he didn't mention them). He found it quite natural that Sunnis would never get upset over the bombing of a thousand year old Shia holy shrine. Just they way things are, you know. I don't see how the Arab world can ever join the Core while its attitude towards human rights remains: Anything YOUR side does to MY side, it's an outrage! an injustice! Anything MY side does to YOUR side, well you had it coming, and no skin off my nose, bub! Furthermore, I really cannot see why people who call themselves liberal and progressive just accept this state of affairs completely. It's not even on their list of things that are wrong and need to be changed.
