uncontrolled violence in Iraq

Policemen Slain in Latest Iraq Violence
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two suicide car bombers struck within a minute of each other and a half-mile apart in southern Baghdad on Thursday, killing seven policemen and raising the day's death toll from blasts in the capital to at least 31, police said.

Earlier Thursday, the day's first suicide car bombing killed 16 policemen and five civilians in the same neighborhood, signaling a new round of violence one day after residents suffered through Baghdad's bloodiest day since the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein — 160 dead and 570 wounded.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was ANY sign of hope whatsoever coming from Iraq? We have ravaged that country and have done nothing to help it.
Terrifyingly sad...
