Iraq and the never ending “War on Terror”

There isn’t a day that goes by without the horror images coming out of Iraq. Just today another bloody scene from what has become now a daily occurence of the horror and murder in the streets of the Iraqi capital. Snipers on rooftops took aim at Shiite Muslim worshipers killing at least 22 of them and injuring scores more. It is apparent that a civilian war is brewing in Iraq these days. Sectarian violence has spread and is claiming over 100 civilians daily. If the Iraqi security forces and the US forces in Iraq do not choke the chaos, violence could spiral out of control and a full blown civial war could claim even more innocent lives and undermine the efforts that so far are taking unprecedented proportions. The cost of war is astounding and the loss of life unsettling.

This occupation has become another Vietnam episode, and this administration seems to have misscalculated the effects and the impact this war would have on our lives, economy and world at large.
