IRAQ: FROM A ‘ORDINARY’ MIDDLE EAST DICTATORSHIP TO THE HUB OF RESISTANCE(aka terrorism..) AGAINST THE ‘US-IMPERIALISM’...

...TO... ya, WHAT??

I’m really not sure anymore, what was/is better – the ‘ordinary’ dictatorship of under S. Hussein and his Baath gang or what we have now.

Perhaps the Bush administration really thought that "it will be fine to liberate the Iraqi people" and "bring them democracy"(harrharr)...

At first according to many reports the majority of the Iraqis were happy about the end of S. Hussain’s dictatorship. But after that just a really small minority were ready to struggle for a kind of democratic/civil society... And from the beginning they were hunted by reactionary factions of Islamic fundamentalists and many parts of the so-called resistance. And the occupiers were not able, or(‘better’) perhaps they just had no interrest, to protect this forces and support them.

Al-Askari shrine, before...

...and after the attack

And now it seems that everything is over... Even if in the following days the complete civil war will not break out, but the people who have the interrest in such a scenario will know(at least from now) what is to do to create the definite situation for that: just attack symbols - in the last months thousands of hundreds were killed by (Shia) death squads and thousands of Shias were killed by bomb attacks by the(Sunni) ‘resistance’ and without such a result, outbreak of violence, fights each other, like the attack against the al-Askari shrine.

Shia believers in preparing...

...what for?

According to political active people in Iraq now the question is not about if the civil war will break out... the question is just WHEN IT WILL BE REALLY HAPPEN.

And let’s guess, the international peace movement have now no answer, not at all!

Sorry, these are just some of my(maybe stupid) first thoughts in the current situation(perhaps later I'll write more..) ...

Please read more about it(for example) here:
