Civil War

Ahmad Ali in Baghdad writes about the Shia shrine bombing:

But this is going to be worse, I think. This may be the start of when it all goes really wrong and the thing that we all fear - the sectarian war that will destroy my country and my children's future - may be about to begin.

Not to say we told you so but those who opposed this war from the start knew to expect this. Three groups have always been there: Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds. Too many warned about being caught in the middle of all three groups.

But being right, in this case, doesn't feel right. Bloodshed, death...not an outcome to covet.
