With the mess over the part couple of days, you'd think that the UN would have something more constructive to say.
I have to say I was surprised that the MSM actually admitted that this mess was instigated by the insurgency trying to destabilize the area. This has been obvious for some time, but the journalistic impartiality of the MSM must have been keeping them from reporting the actors and their motivations. Sadly, very few in the MSM report that bit.
A U.N. envoy urged Iraq's government on Saturday to halt a slide into civil war and stop the "cancer" of sectarianism from destroying the country, warning that the carnage of this week could tear Iraq apart.My question really comes to will Sadr and Maliki take responsibility for the removal of the road blocks that the US military was maintaining up until Maliki ordered them removed. Those road blocks kept the suicide bombers out as well as restricting Sadr's militia death squads.
As a curfew was extended until Monday, derailing a trip to Iran by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, the U.N. envoy in Baghdad, Ashraf Qazi, said car bombs on Thursday that killed more than 200 Shi'ites and "blind acts of revenge" were "tearing apart the very political and social fabric of Iraq".
"No country could tolerate such a cancer in its body politic," Qazi said in a statement.
