1. well it's not very far from reality...

Sarcasm aside. Just heard a report on Radio Europe I with a middle-east expert (lebanese). He said that the second battle of Bagdhad has begun. It's a religious-ethnic civil war where Shiite militias are proceeding an ethnic cleansing. If the Sunnis are expelled, the capital will collapse and thus Irak. What we are witnessing is the begining of the end...

after all the US troops could be back for Xmas, but it's not what Bush, Rice and Co had in sight...
