Daytime Curfew

See how well that whole democracy thing worked out?
THE Iraqi government was expected to impose a daytime curfew on Baghdad and three surrounding provinces today in an effort to avert sectarian clashes on the Muslim day of prayer.
An overnight curfew was being extended until 4pm local time, and police will arrest those who take to the streets, even to go to mosques, according to sources last night.
Iraq was balanced on the brink of civil war yesterday as more than 130 people died across the country in sectarian violence that left dozens of mosques damaged or in ruins in the wake of Wednesday’s suspected al-Qaeda bombing of one of the holiest shrines in Shia Islam.
Who benefits from civil war in Iraq? How?

With the Sunni community even more overwhelmingly behind the anti-occupation armed struggle than was the case a year ago, the U.S. command feels it has no choice but to depend on just such sectarian or ethnic units to help put down the Sunni insurgency.
I believe there is more to it than just this, but then I am more pre-disposed to believe that this is all much better planned than any sane person will attest. Yes, I insist it’s simpler. Who will eventually control the production and distribution of oil in this region after Iraq is broken into three states?
Just another brick …
