Iranian Pilgrims Killed in Iraq

Dozens of Iranian pilgrims were killed this week in Iraq in a bombing attack.

Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei commented that the main suspects in this attack as well as similar ones are the American army. He was quoted saying that America has created a blind and uncontrollable terrorism in Iraq.

Accusations between Iran and the US have been going back and forth, as America accused Iran in response of supporting Shiites in Iraq.

“On Thursday, most of the 57 people who were killed in a suicide bomb in the northeastern Iraqi province of Diyala were Iranians, who have flocked to Iraq’s Shiite holy sites since Sunni Arab strongman Saddam Hussein was ousted in 2003.

The following day, two female suicide bombers blew themselves up near a Shiite Muslim shrine in Baghdad, killing 60 people. Many of the dead and wounded were Iranian pilgrims.” The Jordan Times

Such daily attacks are actually raising doubts that the recently measured drop in violence in Iraq will no longer be.

Violence will escalate until the US leaves the theatre. Now that Obama has surrendered.Iit will go into the history books as yet another military defeat of the US.

Unfortunately, civilians had to pay for their arrogance... I just hope Obama doesn’t repeat the same mistakes, cz the world can’t afford any more stupidity...

No Nuya, not in that sense, but we all know that before the American presence in Iraq, there was no news of suicide bombings, so that should tell us something. Someone is responsible for the increase in violence, and it is not Saddam Hussain...

Besides, those who kill unarmed civilians are way to coward to bomb themselves up. but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to do with it...

Thx for passing by :)

There are suicide bombings in lots of places where there are no American troops, guess you gonna blame Americans for that too?

Blame America for everything, everyone else does, it is just so much easier than doing anything about the problems.

No Nuya, I’m not stupid, and I don’t generalize, but I think for myself...I was talking about the case of Iraq, but I guess it’s too hard to believe that ur army is killing unarmed civilians somewhere in the world... u can stay in ur denial, but don’t ask me to believe it... I’d rather deal with our problems, which I believe ARE there, realistically...

Thx again for ur comments...

Where did you EVER see me saying anything like that? And it is NOT MY Army! If if were my Army, they would all be home filling sandbags and removing debris after hurricanes and floods. They would be training for combat in the event that one of our allies ASKED for help. They would be ready to to defend US soil, not some far off land where the people don’t care to change. If people get tired of way their government treats them, then they should revolt and no one should aid either side.

That is the reason we are guaranteed the right to keep guns, so that if we have an abusive despot take over the country, we can gather a militia and fight back. We have already had OUR civil war and it was citizens fighting.

@Nuya: I guess I didn’t make myself clear there, what I was trying to say is that I wouldn’t blame America for everything, I acknowledge our part of the deal as well, I just hope everyone would do the same.

I very much hope it would have been UR army if that was the case, but unfortunately it is not, because the majority of the American people insisted on making the same mistake twice by voting for Bush junior after they voted for his dad, and obviously liked his performance...

Now I know how u feel about this issue, as u have commented on some of my posts before, and I appreciate ur opinion... I am sorry if I made this sound personal, but what is happening in the world today is not accepted, and those responsible have to take responsibility for it... in this SPECIFIC case, it is those who put this man in his former position as the leader of the most powerful country in the world, who have to stand up and take the blame for giving him his position, and indirectly killing thousands of people around the world...

I also wish that the American policy would understand that other countries are allowed to have guns as well, and that every country has the right to fight back against whoever stands in the way of its BEING...

Anyways, nothing personal here Nuya, and ur comments are always welcomed and appreciated :)

seeyoo around

No, the majority of Americans did NOT vote for Bush either time! He lost the popular vote both times, but there were loopholes in the voting laws that were exploited. There were mass voting irregularities as well. Some of these issues have been addressed because of attention they received in those elections. Voting districts were misrepresented and others were redrawn to insure the republicans won. There are a lot of us fighting to get the complicated, convoluted voting laws changed, but it will take time to correct all the errors.

Thanks for the kind words, I hate being lumped in with those fanatics. There are not as many as you would think, but they are loud and rude and ruthless so they end up getting their way more than normal people who follow the rules and behave in a civilized manner.

Take heart though, there have been many changes in our democratic system in the last 8 years. Some of the very ones who were on the side of the fanatics have switched party affiliation. There may be hope yet.

We tried things and they didn’t work, so we try something else until we get it right. Every country should have the same opportunity. Like I said before, if the people don’t like it, let them change it, it is the only way that they will appreciate what they have.

I guess we’re both writing for the same purpose then, but with different words...

That’s a small price for having democracy and no weapons of mass destruction.

Weapons of mass destruction? America itself announced that nothing was found in Iraq... but whoever wants to keep finding excuses for the mess in Iraq shall keep on finding them, while the truth lies as such: America was wrong in invading Iraq... and will pay the price for it, and has paid part of the price (financially) already... But that’s just part of it...

The only weapon of mass destruction in Iraq was the government. Democracy is a good thing as long as it is real democracy and not puppets. Let’s all just hope for the best, but Bush had his fingers in it, so I am not holding my breath.
