Iraq War Cost $800 Billion, “What Do We Have To Show For It”?

BAGHDAD — A wave of bombings tore through the Baghdad area Tuesday, killing 57 people on eve of the 10th anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion and showing how unstable Iraq remains more than a year after the withdrawal of American troops.

This is how the Sunni and Shiite celebrate anniversaries. They have been knocking each-other for centuries and will continue to do so. These fanatical ethnic rivalries continue to tear at the fabric of national unity. They do not want peace. It is like trying to make a polar bear live in the Sahara Desert. It is not in their DNA. They live to fight and dying is an honor.

If I ever get an invitation to a birthday party there I think I will decline it.  I don’t like the way they celebrate special occasions.

The biggest surprise all of these martyrs will get is when they get to Islamic heaven and find out there my not be 72 virgins waiting for them.
