<The bombing made headlines (and a news photographer just happened to be on the scene). Here in Baghdad, it just made the average Iraqis hate the terrorists even more.> That's for sure. I hate IRA [Gerry Adams' death will please me and I love the irony that a lot of IRA supporting firemen were killed in the Twin Tower collapse], Islamic Jihad [and therefore a LOT of Moslems who actually LIKE the horrors in Bali, Twin Towers, London etc], whoever bombed Ernie Abbott, the French frog-men and woman who bombed the Rainbow Warrior and all the political evil-doers who supported them which includes a LOT of French people, and so on all over the place.

Day to day it certainly isnt civil war, nor was the attack on the shiaa mosque--it was terrorism either done by jihadists or baathists and perhaps even a little secret help from the iranians. But the shiaa gut reaction of days 1&2 could have become the first shot in a civil war. So far not, but we do get closer to that. Only way to prevent it is a deal between shiaa and sunni where jihadists & foreigners are given up for more influence in govt and defanging of shiaa militias. I have seen little evidence of that happening so its only a matter of time before the next shiaa mosque/shopping area is hit and on one the these occasions will be fierce and not controllable and all hell will break lose. I hope shiaa and sunni come to their senses and to the table before this happens.
