Baghdad bombs: Dozens killed, scores wounded

Tensions festered in Iraq Wednesday after nearly 50 people died and dozens of others were wounded in a string of bombings mostly in and around Baghdad, police said

The bloodshed occurred during an intense time in Iraq. The country has endured months of escalating violence stemming from decades-old discord between the nation's Sunnis and Shiites, the two largest branches of Islam. And the government says it is gearing up if the Syrian conflict next door escalates.

      good old American democracy can only be offered. Can`t be forced. These people were given the freedom from the tyranny of Saadam Hussein. They have now freely chosen to continue their sectarian war and kill each other. THAT`s freedom in action.... even IF we don`t agree with their actions.
