Here We Go Again. No, this is NOT a Whitesnake rip-off.

This is the address. I am getting ready to put the address.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hwK_CSpBxsNuVUEaDuOwmSSCiqGwD93IHJA81
The address.
Where you can click on the address and the address will take you to the page of the address where the address takes you to the article from that address.

While we're on the subject, can we change the subject now? Sorry. Modest Mouse shines through. Anyways, TO THE ARTICLE!
But I'm finding it a little difficult to type so this is going to take ages.
My lovely choice this week is one not so ironic and oddly bright as last week's. No, I have now went to the untouchable zone of the Sunni vs. the Shiite. Anybody watch the news, other than me? You? Good. Well perhaps you have heard about the suicide attackers striking Shiite mosques...killing 24 people. Yeahhh that's not good.

Just ending is the holy Islamic month of Ramadan. So many attacks have taken place that it is ridiculous. People are thinking, even, that the Al-Qaida in Iraq is trying to provoke Sunni-Shiite reprisal killings. Let's hear this out:
Four days before the mentioned suicide attacks, 32 people were killed and over 100 injured in attacks in the Shiite areas of Baghdad. THEN, (latest news, at least) a suicide car bomber detonated his explosives about 20 yards from a mosque in southeastern Baghdad. The blast killed 14 people. Also, a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt as worshippers were leaving the Rasoul mosque. Using math, we can see that 24 having died total, and 14 at the first attack, 10 have died here. Even better, let's see a quote from one of the witnesses of the attack.

"Pools of blood and the smell of burned flesh were everywhere and I saw a man of about 70 bleeding and lying on the ground."

What is happening to the world?! Oh, I'm not finished. To the north, suspected Shiite militiamen gunned down six members of a Sunni family. The dead included two children, three women and a man, police said. Another woman and her small child were wounded. Revulsion? Oh for certain.

These people have no idea what they represent. People can read this article and see the violence, the newfound world-injuries, and the tragic loss of life from truly innocent people. Poor old 70 year old men caught in the line of fire, or in the explosion, just a-burnin' away. It's TERRIBLE!
Do people not see this? I know I'm not the only one who hears of these attacks and says..umm...
It's the end of the world, isn't it? Because for chrissakes there are people out there who will do anything radical to get approval and to get what they want. There are people who will kill themselves if they are told to. What in the world is wrong today? Why are people so entirely demented.
Believe it or not, I know the answers to this. I know that is the reason this article even relates to Anthropology...you know...the whole "You have to understand their culture to understand those things."
Well, my good ideology-conceiving friend (yes, I am talking to myself), I realize this. And I still refuse to think that any culture could, with good intentions, promote suicide to its followers.

Jim Jones cult, gone nation-wide.
I have managed to become angry whilst typing. And my wrist is dying so...Adios, loves.

Sigh, I wish it was a Whitesnake rip-off. Not really! But nevertheless your stories always depress me so. I feel terrible once again for all the people fighting for what seems like a lost (or none at all!) cause. I can't believe people are willing to blow themselves up!?! I'm also sad to see that I am the first commenter b/c your comments are always so interesting to read. =)

I feel you G. But if we let these people keep blowing themselves up then eventually they're going to become extinct right? That's the glass half full anyway.
