This is horrifying

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Masked *****e gunmen stopped cars in western Baghdad, grabbing people from the street and separating Sunni Arabs from the rest, killing at least 37 people, police said, in a dramatic escalation of sectarian violence in the country.

An Interior ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity for security reasons, said *****e militiamen wearing masks and black uniforms were roaming the neighborhood, checking the people identity cards, presumably for Sunni names. "They are killing civilians according to their identity cards," he said.

As an American, I think we should at least let the Iraqis have weapons to defend themselves.  People being pulled out of their cars to be executed, sickening.

Saddam had let the people posess weapons. Bloody dictator wasn't afraid of people turning their arms against him.

Go figure.

AFAIK, Iraqis are able to keep weapons up to fully automatic AK-47s in their home or business and are able to carry guns with them with a permit.

Anyone seen anything different?

Have you posted your horrified responses to the bombing of the mosques by Sunnis?  The bombings and beheadings by the Sunnis?

It's all horrible.  But the Sunnis have been at the forefront of the slaughter, where was your indignation then?

This has been going on for a while now. People are routinely shot or tortured for being one or the other sect. Sometimes you can be shot for by Sunnis for having a Shia name and vice versa. Police and government workers are always in danger on and off duty. Apparently there is a roaring trade in false identity cards.

We tend to only hear about the big atrocities and the now routine bombings but they pick bodies off the street every morning.  It's constant, day after day.

It's a spiral of violence. Just how long it will go on is anybody's guess.

The situation for ordinary decent Iraqis is ghastly. At the moment the gunmen, criminals and fanatics hold sway. The US military can do nothing to stop it, busy as they are just preventing attacks on themselves by Insurgents.

Edit: Found the answer.  Iraqis are allowed to have some weapons, but they must register them.  One Kalishnikov is allowed per family.  Iraqis still had to give up many of their weapons, which they did not like.

Yeah, its all extremely brutal and sickening.

Islam is a viscious dog religion.  Worst religion on the planet.

Before its all said and done, islam is going to take one hell of a beating.  And it deserves it.  Better sooner rather than later, once the islamic nations are fully armed with atomic weapons the entire planet is in for a ****storm.  Lets take care of this problem now.

The Hutus used national ID cards to identify and kill Tutsis in Rwanda.


Hey Britian, this is why typically manditory national IDs are a bad thing.

Re-install Saddam under the occupational administration. He'll tell you a lot of interesting things to do.

But - sorry... It's already too late.

Human rights? Where did you see humans?

Iranian Shia ayatollas are sane people. They'll help you restoring order. In their own way...

What we'll see after American occupatiuon will be over will be the Islamic Republic of Iraq. With genocide, mass executions and gazavat as a political doctrine. Saddam was a kid compared to what is going to happenn

I said it 3 years ago, and so far everything goes this way I hope I was mistaken

as long as they are happily killing each other instead of sticking bombs on our trains and buses, we should encourage them.

Maybe they'll all kill each other and we can leave?

So far they set up bombs (someone set up us the bomb) in Moskow subway.

I don't want to get killed going home in the evening.

THEY blew up two apartment houses in the South of Moscow in 1999. They killed 300+ sleeping innocent people.

THEIR leaders live in the UK and US now.

I want to see all of them killed with a Russian bayonet. Bayonet. Like pigs. You guys, and your "democratically elected" governments, gave shelter to people responsible for this mass-murders. Evidence from an Orthodox priest who had his fingers cut off by Ahmat Zakayev was not enough for British justice to blame him, so the bastard still has a "political asylum" in the UK. Justice you say?

If you speak about "war on terror" - then let's work together. Let's hang the bastards and stop thinking about "political benefits".

Russian Federation follows a death-penalty moratory, that's why Euros don't accept us. **** them. We still have a death-penalty, and I want to see Shamil Basayev killed by a knife or a bayonet, like a pig. We don't execute ordinary criminals, but we kill a person who ordered a maternity hospital to be captured in 1995. Maternity hospital! He's not a human. Bayonet. Like a pig. Horrible death for a Moslim.
