Why doesn't Iraq have a neighbourhood watch programme in their respective barrio (Sunni, Shia, Kurd, Turkmen, etc) to take control of the scum waging havoc?

KUFA, Iraq, July 6 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber blasted two coaches carrying Iranian pilgrims outside a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Iraq at dawn on Thursday, killing 12 people and wounding 41, police and health officials said.
The attack came a day after the U.S. military warned that al Qaeda's new leader in Iraq could order new car bombings after the killing of his predecessor Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a month ago.
The bomber drove his car between the two Iranian coaches as they arrived at the Maithem al-Tamar shrine in Kufa, a religious centre on the outskirts of the main Shi'ite holy city of Najaf, 160 km (100 miles) south of Baghdad, police said.
The burnt-out wrecks of the vehicles lay in the street. Three women in distinctive Iranian dress lay dead. Smoke rose from the charred remains of the bomber's car.
Police said several Iraqi children, who make a living wheeling invalid pilgrims in carts at the shrine, were also caught in the blast. Many sleep there, waiting for business.
Eight of the dead were Iranians, three of those women, the head of Najaf's health service, Munther al-Athari, said. Men, women and children were among the 41 wounded, 22 of whom were Iranian, he added. Earlier, doctors put the death toll at 13.
Shi'ite worshippers have been targeted before in sectarian attacks by Sunni Arab insurgents, and the U.S. military warned on Wednesday of a possible increase in car bomb attacks after the nomination of Abu Ayyub al-Masri to head al Qaeda in Iraq.
Masri, named by Osama bin Laden last week, has a reputation as an organiser of car bombings. One killed over 60 people at a market in a Shi'ite area of Baghdad on Saturday, the deadliest for 3 months. Another killed six in the capital on Wednesday.
A leading Sunni Arab political group said the attack in Kufa was intended to provoke further sectarian bloodshed.
The U.S. embassy condemned the attack and urged Iraqis to exercise restraint and "renew efforts to halt the spread of sectarian conflict".
"Such violence seeks to inflame religious sensibilities and sow discord among Iraq's people," it said in a statement.
IRANIAN ANGER
Since the fall in 2003 of Saddam Hussein, whose Sunni Muslim-dominated government fought Shi'ite Iran in the 1980s, large numbers of Iranians have travelled to holy sites around Najaf, the main centre for the Shi'ite branch of Islam.
Tehran urged better security for pilgrims and blamed the United States for the violence gripping Iraq.
Saddam, who is due back in court on Monday to hear his defence sum up his denial of crimes against humanity, began a hunger strike in prison, his lead lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi told Reuters. His U.S. military jailers could not confirm that.
Saddam and others were demanding an investigation into the killing last month of a lawyer who was the third member of their defence team killed since the trial began in October.
Kufa is also a base for many supporters of the radical Shi'ite cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr. His Mehdi Army fighters, along with other Shi'ite armed groups, are accused by Sunnis of sectarian violence against their community.
Bloodshed, especially since the bombing of a Shi'ite shrine in February, has pitched Iraq toward all-out sectarian war.
The seven-week-old, U.S.-backed national unity coalition government of Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is trying to avert that and launched a national reconciliation drive last week to try to win over insurgents to the political process.
Though still heavily dependent on U.S. military support, the government's ties to Washington have been put under pressure this week by public outcry over a rape and murder case in which U.S. soldiers are accused of killing a family near Baghdad.
Maliki called again for an independent inquiry and review of foreign troops' immunity from Iraqi law, which he has said has "emboldened" soldiers. He urged Washington to train its troops better and not send to Iraq those with anti-social "prejudices".

The United States is currently caught up in a new campaign for a military dictatorship rule by a military chief with absolute power. The White House, inspired by Vice President Dick Cheney, has argued that in time of great danger, the President has unlimited powers. If he cites national security, he can do whatever he wants --
ignore Congress, disobey laws, disregard the courts, override the Constitution's Bill of Rights, -- without being subject to any review. Separation of powers no longer exists under this view. The President need not consult Congress or the courts, only the vice president, the attorney general and God.

I now believe that smuckers must have escapd from a mental institution. She has cast herself with the lunatic fring on the far extreme left of the American political scene(the extreme 5%). George Bush and Dick cheney are good and honorable people who love America and will do whatever is needed to see that our people maintain their freedom and PROSPERITY. Its odd that the longer these left wing nuts lose at the polls the more extreme they get. that they have no understanding what so ever of international relations is one of many reasons they will always be out of power and frustrated.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Blasts are hitting Sunni and Shiite mosques in Iraq.
A mortar round, a car bomb, a bomb and a roadside bomb targeted four Sunni mosques in the Baghdad area. And a car bomb went off near a Shiite mosque in the north.
The blasts killed 15 people and wounded more than 50.
A powerful religious leader in Baghdad said a Sunni cleric has been abducted. The leader says the cleric was kidnapped at a checkpoint. He says the abductors pulled off the sheik's turban and waved it to celebrate the capture.
Also, Iraqi forces backed by U.S. aircraft battled militants in a Shiite stronghold of eastern Baghdad. More than 30 fighters were killed or wounded and an extremist leader was captured.
In another operation, Iraqi troops backed by U.S. soldiers arrested a top regional commander of a Shiite militia near Hillah.

BAGHDAD -- Armed Shiite Muslim militiamen and Sunni Arab insurgents went on murderous sprees Sunday, killing dozens of people in shooting and bombings in an outbreak of fighting in the Iraqi capital that offered a glimpse of a city sinking deeper into sectarian warfare.
A hospital official where bodies were taken said at least 36 Sunnis and a family of five Shiites were killed in morning clashes. Later a pair of car bombs targeting a Shiite mosque killed at least 19 as dusk settled.

John Pilger detects the Salvador Option Columnists John Pilger Monday 8th May 2006 The American public is being prepared. If the attack on Iran does come, there will be no warning, no declaration of war, no truth, writes John Pilger
The lifts in the New York Hilton played CNN on a small screen you could not avoid watching. Iraq was top of the news; pronouncements about a "civil war" and "sectarian violence" were repeated incessantly. It was as if the US invasion had never happened and the killing of tens of thousands of civilians by the Americans was a surreal fiction. The Iraqis were mindless Arabs, haunted by religion, ethnic strife and the need to blow themselves up. Unctuous puppet politicians were paraded with no hint that their exercise yard was inside an American fortress.
And when you left the lift, this followed you to your room, to the hotel gym, the airport, the next airport and the next country. Such is the power of America's corporate propaganda, which, as Edward Said pointed out in Culture and Imperialism, "penetrates electronically" with its equivalent of a party line.
The party line changed the other day. For almost three years it was that al-Qaeda was the driving force behind the "insurgency", led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a bloodthirsty Jordanian who was clearly being groomed for the kind of infamy Saddam Hussein enjoys. It mattered not that al-Zarqawi had never been seen alive and that only a fraction of the "insurgents" followed al-Qaeda. For the Americans, Zarqawi's role was to distract attention from the thing that almost all Iraqis oppose: the brutal Anglo-American occupation of their country.
Now that al-Zarqawi has been replaced by "sectarian violence" and "civil war", the big news is the attacks by Sunnis on Shia mosques and bazaars. The real news, which is not reported in the CNN "mainstream", is that the Salvador Option has been invoked in Iraq. This is the campaign of terror by death squads armed and trained by the US, which attack Sunnis and Shias alike. The goal is the incitement of a real civil war and the break-up of Iraq, the original war aim of Bush's administration. The ministry of the interior in Baghdad, which is run by the CIA, directs the principal death squads. Their members are not exclusively Shia, as the myth goes. The most brutal are the Sunni-led Special Police Commandos, headed by former senior officers in Saddam's Ba'ath Party. This unit was formed and trained by CIA "counter-insurgency" experts, including veterans of the CIA's terror operations in central America in the 1980s, notably El Salvador. In his new book, Empire's Workshop (Metropolitan Books), the American historian Greg Grandin describes the Salvador Option thus: "Once in office, [President] Reagan came down hard on central America, in effect letting his administration's most committed militarists set and execute policy. In El Salvador, they provided more than a million dollars a day to fund a lethal counter-insurgency campaign . . . All told, US allies in central America during Reagan's two terms killed over 300,000 people, tortured hundreds of thousands and drove millions into exile."
Although the Reagan administration spawned the current Bushites, or "neo-cons", the pattern was set earlier. In Vietnam, death squads trained, armed and directed by the CIA murdered up to 50,000 people in Operation Phoenix. In the mid-1960s in Indonesia CIA officers compiled "death lists" for General Suharto's killing spree during his seizure of power. After the 2003 invasion, it was only a matter of time before this venerable "policy" was applied in Iraq.
According to the investigative writer Max Fuller (National Review Online), the key CIA manager of the interior ministry death squads "cut his teeth in Vietnam before moving on to direct the US military mission in El Salvador". Professor Grandin names another central America veteran whose job now is to "train a ruthless counter-insurgent force made up of ex-Ba'athist thugs". Another, says Fuller, is well-known for his "production of death lists". A secret militia run by the Americans is the Facilities Protection Service, which has been responsible for bombings. "The British and US Special Forces," concludes Fuller, "in conjunction with the [US-created] intelligence services at the Iraqi defence ministry, are fabricating insurgent bombings of Shias."
On 16 March, Reuters reported the arrest of an American "security contractor" who was found with weapons and explosives in his car. Last year, two Britons disguised as Arabs were caught with a car full of weapons and explosives; British forces bulldozed the Basra prison to rescue them. The Boston Globe recently reported: "The FBI's counter-terrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen
in the United States, according to senior government officials."
As I say, all this has been tried before - just as the preparation of the American public for an atrocious attack on Iran is similar to the WMD fabrications in Iraq. If that attack comes, there will be no warning, no declaration of war, no truth. Imprisoned in the Hilton lift, staring at CNN, my fellow passengers could be excused for not making sense of the Middle East, or Latin America, or anywhere. They are isolated. Nothing is explained. Congress is silent. The Democrats are moribund. And the freest media on earth insult the public every day. As Voltaire put it: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

Ok, once again, instead of childish remarks, stick to facts. Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff improperly obtained a top-secret FBI document and tried to use the information to aid his clients in the Pacific Island territories, according to a report released Friday by the Justice Department's inspector general. The lobbyist feared information in the document could be damaging to his clients' interests, the inspector general said, and he used his knowledge of its contents to warn them and to devise a counterattack.

Oh cracker Mike, NEVER ever diss John Pilger. I think he's great. I know noone in the US has the benefit of a free press, nor apparently do many of them have the benefit of an open mind. Admit it, you must be giggling about the latest FBI tape re Abu Ayyub al-Masri, 'we know it's genuine because it's just like the others...' haha When you EVER learn to simply wonder??

Baghdad: At least ten people are dead after two car bombs exploded in a Shiite area of east Baghdad on Monday.
Around 40 were also wounded in the blasts in the Iraqi capital, which happened 200 metres apart near a telephone exchange in the Talbiya district. The area is a stronghold of the Medhi Army militia of radical cleric Moqtada Al Sadr.
The group rejected accusations by Sunni leaders and police that it was responsible for killings in the main Sunni Jihad district of West Baghdad on Sunday, which saw gunmen setting up roadblocks and hauling suspected Sunnis out of cars to shoot them, and killing others in streets and homes.
A leaflet distributed in several neighborhoods in Jerusalem offered NIS 20,000 to anyone who kills participants in the International Gay Pride Parade scheduled to take place in Jerusalem next month.

BAGHDAD, July 13 — After four days of rampant sectarian violence that killed more than 140 people here, the bloodshed ebbed significantly today as Iraq’s security and interior ministers appeared before the Iraqi Parliament and were aggressively questioned by legislators on their plans for imposing order in the streets.
The police reported an array of attacks that killed at least six people today, a sharp decline from the daily tolls of the past few days. In an attack that appeared to be driven by sectarian motives, gunmen in a Sunni Arab-dominated sector of the Dora district of Baghdad fired on a group of Shiite pilgrims traveling to the Shiite holy city of Najaf, killing at least two and wounding five, according to an official in the Interior Ministry.

Israel is freaking out because the AIPAC trial is on August 7th they are trying as hard as they can to start a massive war by attacking Lebanon and Palestine. Syria will be next. And Syria is not just going to roll over they have a legit army.
The Neocons know that their days are numbered. Bush is already trying to blame the capturing of Israeli soldiers on Iran. Note that When Palestine first captured a soldier what that means. It means people from Gaza, who had been attacked repeatedly, went and captured an Israeli soldier who is part of an illegal military occupation to begin with.
