Opposite Views on the Iraq Carnage

“The campaign by neighboring countries to bleed and exhaust Iraq continues….Iraqi blood is still considered cheap by those who claim Islam as their faith…Recent bombings perpetrated by sick minds betting on the failure of the Iraqi political order…..hiding in the embrace of neighboring Arab regimes, aided by Iraqi politicians who carry the agendas of these Arab regimes…..The silence of most Arab governments on the killings in Iraq is an indication of their desire to abort the political process in Iraq….This continued support of spilling Iraqi blood, and the insistence on Iraqi reparations are part of the coordinated effort to exhaust Iraq……”

“Iraq: the collapse accelerates. Recent bombings have targeted sensitive establishments, like government ministries….They pose important questions about the ability of the security forces to control…..It is more likely that elements allied with the regime are involved in the bombings…..”

The common thread in much of Sunni Arab media (non-Iraqi Gulf and offshore media) is that elements within the regime are behind the bombings. Some Iraqi opponents of the new order, mainly Sunni journalists ensconced in the Persian Gulf media, also blame the Iraqi regime or its allies (meaning other Shi’as, of course).

Iraqis, and most other Shi'as, believe that outsiders, mainly Arabs, are behind the carnage with the goal of weakening Iraq and causing the failure of the political process.
Alles Klar?
Cheers and Ramadan Kareem
