By Ahmed Rasheed

BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 29 (Reuters) - Suicide bombers killed more than 100 people in a Shi'ite neighbourhood of Baghdad and in a mainly Shi'ite town north of the Iraqi capital in a wave of sectarian violence on Thursday, police said.

A suicide bomber killed around 60 people in a market in the Shaab district of northern Baghdad, police sources said, in what appeared to be the latest in a string of attacks on Shi'ite districts and towns.

At about the same time, three suicide car bombs exploded within minutes of each other in Khalis, 80 km (60 miles) north of Baghdad, killing about 50 people and wounding scores, police and hospital officials said.

7. it is much worse as this figure doesn't include shootings, bodies found etc
it's hard keeping track of all the date, but I use Reuters FactBox and McClatchy to try to keep up.

6. Trying to stop this sectarian war
is like trying to stab a marble with a fork.

They have been fighting each other for two thousand years. bush should be shoved out the back of a C-130 right into the middle of Ramadi and let him get a close look.

Webster doesn't have enough swear words for me to describe my hate for him.

5. I don't understand. A random, anonymous blogger said things were fine.

8. Darn that "pesky one bomb a day"
If only people would listen to Georgie and Laura, they say the bloggers say it is going good.

This is a sad sad sad episode in History.
