The slipper slope to genocide…

Well, according to the latest pundency, my assessment of Saddam’s execution was correct. None believe it was planned by the government, not even Fox News. There are some who thing that if the Bush administration says something, it must be the inverse of the truth, so when the Administration said it had no warning about the the plans and nothing to do with them, you can almost be certain that the opposite is true. By this logic, Bush new about it and had something to do in its timing.
Another line, and one I think is more likely now, is that it was a power play by Muqtada al-Sadr. Having hear that the Prime Minister Maliki wanted to resign his post, and the way the sectarians of the timing of the execution, it makes it far more likely that Iraq is continuing to polarize which may inevitably arrive at its logical genocidal conclusion. History has an interesting pattern that no matter how bad things are, if left to fester things will always get worse. There is no 12step program for national insanity and I fear I must say that ;for the first time since the start of this farce call “the state of Iraq” (it was called a republic until the Americans annexed it and turned it into a state, literally);.I believe that Iraq will descend into genocidal violence akin to what plagues British India and its partition at independence. Well, it’s good to be Canada…and more to the point NOT to be in Iraq (my hopes and condolences to those not so lucky)
