While Israel and Hezbollah Fight, Iraq Gets Even Worse

While the mainstream media is fixated on the war in Lebanon and Israel, the fight over Iraq has worsened. It's hard to believe that it could get devolve any further, but it can and it has. There are now over 100 deaths in Iraq every single day. Just yesterday, two car bombs exploded and killed 62 people. That was just two incidents. There are dozens and dozens of bombings every day in Iraq.

The media still refuses to call it a civil war, preferring instead to now call it all out sectarian violence. The government in Iraq is screaming to anyone that will listen that they have been in a full scale civil war for some time. Unfortunately, the U.S. government is afraid their poll numbers will go down, so they claim the media is exaggerating the level of violence. The conservatives, who are in absolute denial, refuse to acknowledge the obvious. They would rather blame the media for all that troubles them.

The truth is that Iraq is in a civil war and U.S. troops are caught in the middle. The situation is also the root cause for the escalation in violence between Hezbollah and Israel. The world police are pre-occupied in Iraq, so other rogue nations (Iran, Syria) feel the need to push the envelope.

What needs to happen in Iraq in a breakup of the country into three pieces. The Shia, Sunni, and Kurds all need to go there separate ways. Divide the country up and create borders. It's not that hard. These people don't get along anyway. We should stop trying to force them to.

If you divide the country up, the violence will decline. Then, simply train the troops and get the hell out of there. Forget this 'we're going to democratize Iraq' garbage. Our only goal should be to create relative safety and security.
