Oh Oh: Suicide bomber kills 16 in Iraq
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7132111.stm
<snip>
A female suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives has killed 16 people in a town near Baghdad.

At least 20 people were wounded in the blast at 0930 local time (0630 GMT) in Muqdadiya, which is 90km (55 miles) north-east of Iraq's capital.

The bomber struck at the office of a local Sunni Arab anti-al-Qaeda militia, killing 10 members of the group.

Police say she was a local woman who was once a member of executed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's Baath Party.

She was targeting one of the so-called Awakening Councils, militias that have backed US forces and the Iraqi government in their efforts to reclaim Iraqi provinces from al-Qaeda.

2. So its not a religious civil war.
This confirms my suspicion that this is more about driving out a foreign occupier than it is a religious civil war.

4. yep sure is
there is many here in america who want for the Iraqi the same as the Iraqi wants for themselves at this point and that is to be left alone to sort it all out. I don't thing they need dick and w telling them what they want, freedom to be left alone is not to much for them to ask for IMO
