But as long as the current Iranian regime exists there is no hope for stability in a great country like Iraq and I feel sorry for the people of Iraq who have to go through this hardship. Democracy should prevail in Iraq because our survival depends on it! Salam Adil, I agree with you truly!

But as long as the current Iranian regime exists there is no hope for stability in a great country like Iraq and I feel sorry for the people of Iraq who have to go through this hardship.

Democracy should prevail in Iraq because our survival depends on it!

The difference now is that there is no central govenment in Iraq. Without a government that is accepted by the people there is no proper defense of the borders and no proper army and police to defend the country internally. Remember, the previous big outrage against the Shi'a population (when a suicide bomber killed hundreds during a Shi'a festival) was carried out by a Jordanian. In this current situation external meddling in the country's affairs will simply continue whether from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan or anywhere else. The solution is not to change the external countries but to create a stable government. Winston – there had been peace between Iraq and the current Iranian regime since 1988.

The U.S. and her allies have to resign themselves to the fact that there will never be peace in Iraq or the middle east, as long as the current Iranian regime exists. Period. Good Question my friend…

The U.S. and her allies have to resign themselves to the fact that there will never be peace in Iraq or the middle east, as long as the current Iranian regime exists.

Period.

However even if this bombing was carried out by foreigners, some Iraqis must share the blame for harbouring the bombers and more Iraqis should be blamed for failing to create the security that prevents such atrocities. Winston - I can use the same logic to pin blame on America. There is no use to pointing fingers like this at this stage. The point is how are the the Iraqis going to absoreb an event of such magnitude and what is to be done to prevent such a thing happening again. Raf*, The reaction is very understandable.

It is very unfortunate though!
