another new day...

nothing but good news emanating from iraq these days. via the washpost:

shiite muslim militiamen rampaged through a sunni arab neigborhood in baghdad early sunday morning, killing more than 50 people and discarding bodies in the streets, according to iraqi officials and witnesses. hours later, attackers struck back, detonating two bombs near a shiite mosque.

sunni politicians described the violence against the sunni residents of the al-jihad neighborhood in western baghdad as one of the deadliest waves of murder since the aftermath of the u.s.-led invasion in 2003.

the killings occurred on a day when the u.s. military announced charges against four soldiers in the alleged rape and murder of a girl and the killing of three members of her family in the southern iraqi town of mahmudiyah...

yes sir, a free and peaceful democracy in iraq is just around the curve. faced with these once improbable but now imminent victories in the domestic and international arenas, many white house officials are understandably dizzy with anticipation.

either that, or the curve is shaped like a circle...
