Getting Worse Before Things Get ... Worse
This morning in Iraq a group of Sunni militants attacked an ancient Shiite temple in Samara, causing masstive damage. Thousands of Shiites are protesting, and Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has declared 3 days of mourning for the destruction caused to the beautiful, golden-domed structure, which containes tombs of two descendents of Muhammad.
Things just got a whole hell of a lot worse in Iraq. Those Americans who thought this would be easy may be in for quite shock as American soldiers become increasingly intertwined in an Iraqi civil war, between Sunni, Shia, Kurds, and everybody else who has a stake in the country. America, however, will find it harder and harder to pull out- if we do, Iraq may fall into pure chaos. If we don't, American soldiers are exposed to even more indiscriminate and confusing circumstances than before. This could be the genesis of the movement from Insurgency in Iraq to Chaos.
Sunni militants are already attacking Shia holy sites in retaliation.
