Iraq just went from horrible to un-friggin-believably awful

Read Juan Cole today:

Also, the New York Times on this: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/22/international/middleeast/22cnd-iraq.html?hp&ex=1140670800&en=1077baccd068bf6b&ei=5094&partner=homepage

OMFG! The Sunni blew up one of the sacred shrines of the Shia that was in the city of Samarra. This is a disaster of epic proportions. I believe that Prof Cole is right, somehow the US is going to be blamed for this and Iraq will go into full blown civil war. OMFG!

See some background on the US troops in Samarra: http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/13880387.htm

This is very, very bad. I know the UAE and the ports are in the news, but this is a worst nightmare about Iraq. We need to pay attention. I hope we get a statement from Sen. KErry about this today, as well as everyone else on the SFRC and from That Friggin Idiot. OMFG!
