As we have facilitated a civil war in Iraq, where are all the candlelight vigils for the victims? The church services, posters, shrines set up for the Iraqi civilians who are no more? "We are all Americans" said Jacques Chirac after 9/11. The world mourned with us. Is the 13 year old girl in this story a "terrorist", freepers? Who are these 30% who agree with Bush that we must "look past" this and consider only optimistic "progress"?

BAGHDAD, Iraq - At least 51 people were killed by insurgents and shadowy sectarian gangs, police reported — continuing the wave of violence that has left more than 1,000 Iraqis dead since the bombing last month of a Shiite Muslim shrine.
As the Iraq war entered its fourth year, police found the bodies of at least 15 more people — including that of a 13-year-old girl — dumped in and near Baghdad. The discoveries marked the latest in a string of execution-style killings that have become an almost daily event as Sunni and Shiite extremists settle scores.
Sectarian killings have swept across Iraq since the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite Muslim shrine in Samarra. An Associated Press tally, including deaths reported Monday and Tuesday, put the toll at 1,044 since the golden dome atop the Askariya shrine was left in rubble by two bombers, who are believed to remain at large.
Gunmen ambushed a police station in the Sunni Muslim heartland north of Baghdad Tuesday, killing at least 17 police officers and a guard at a nearby courthouse while freeing prisoners held at the station, police said.
