I hate to say this but there is only one thing which will stop the violence in Iraq. We need to nuke the country back into the stone age. I know that is not a very good solution but it is the only solution that is going to work. Now the extremists are threatening the assissinate their new PM. Once we hand over control next week it will only get worse and here we have people in denial (Bush, Powell, etc.) who say that while it is dangerous there, it is not out of control. Well, bullfunky! It is out of control and there is nothing we can do to bring it under control.
