Sectarian tensions are on the rise in Iraq again today, as thousands of Sunnis take to the streets across the nation’s north to condemn Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s attempts at centralizing power. A smaller Shi’ite rally was reported in Baghdad demanding the immediate capture of Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges of terrorism.
Hashemi issued a statement blasting Maliki over yesterday’s massive bombing campaign in Baghdad, saying that the prime minister is too focused on “chasing patriotic politicians” to make serious efforts to prevent terrorist attacks.
Maliki has been seeking to arrest Hashemi all week, accusing the top Sunni politician of being behind a terrorist assassination wing. The move has led to allegations that Maliki is using his control over the Interior Ministry and Defense Ministry to try to arrest any political rivals.
Indeed, Maliki’s immediate reaction to the criticism he faced over trying to oust and capture Hashemi was to demand that one of his other top critics, Deputy PM Saleh al-Mutlaq, also resign, and he is now also accusing the Finance Minister, another top Sunni, of being involved in another assassination campaign.
A rare show of support for Maliki, however, came from Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the top Shi’ite religious figure in the nation. In a sermon given by his top aide, the bombings were blamed on political factions which had left the coalition government (Iraqiya and the Kurdish blocs), while saying in an apparent reference to the charges against Hashemi that the “prestige of the government must be preserved” and that “part of tits prestige is punishing abusers.”
Iraq has been contaminated by the U.S. It will take centuries for it to recover assuming it ever does.
The people of Iraq have been exposed to the American mind to say nothing about depleted uranium. Both are toxic. Very.
America stands for values that were current when the world was primitive. The rest of the world has moved on. America hasn't.
The world needs America like a hole in the head!

GREEN ZONE — 15,000 terrorist creators and democracy destroyers
A full ten years has the Bush-Obama Administration had to hand pick the most corrupt politicians in Iraq, the result being a client state democracy identical to Empire USA, namely a dictatorship by and for the voting majority 51% most wealthy.
This is why over one million Iraq war widows and their orphans receive near zero relief from their misery. For like it is in our Empire, so it is in all our colonies, if your in the lower half of society, namely own no property, then you have no rights. For democratic capitalism is a dictatorship ruled only by those with property, where the courts always rule in favor of the party with the most property.
MOST GREEDY = MOST RICH

“Iraq has been contaminated by the U.S. It will take
centuries for it to recover assuming it ever does.”
But surely, Iraq had a most corrupt rich ruling class for thousands of years before America ever had a government. For excessive wealth corrupts, and the only reason our Empire is more corrupt then all the corporate rich who rule our colonies, is because we have the most blood guilt for plundering the most wealth.
