Happy Ramadan, y'all...
Are we going to have to put up with a whole month of this?
A series of suicide bombings shook Baghdad early today, including an attack on the offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross and blasts at four Iraqi police stations that punctuated two days of bloody violence in this capital city.Iraq's police chief and deputy interior minister, Ahmad Ibrahim, said at a news conference that 34 people had been killed and 224 had been wounded in the attacks. He said 26 of the dead were civilians and 8 were police officers; 65 police officers and 159 civilians were wounded.
The explosions plunged the capital into chaos at the outset of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Ambulances raced through the streets and smoke rose from smoldering cars blown up in the blasts. Iraqi police officers dug through rubble to search for bodies.

Fighting for peace? Suicide to mark
'holy' days. Killing for the 'holy land'? Religions strangly silent in the age of communication? Jews walling the Palestinians into the ghetto...retribution for the holocost? Decent Palestinian people not running rat boy Arafat out of town on a rail (long ago)? Hate spewing, freedom of speech protected, Rush lint bag revealed as a junkie. The pope taken seriously at all, by anyone, ever, let alone millions? Jed bush 'saving' a brain dead woman.
Rocket attack kills innocents, but misses wolfawitz? gephardt? lieberman? nader? oh. rumsfeld? rice? powell? oh. blair? saddam? bin laden? Of all the people in the world this is the best we can do? Leaders? Unlimited budget for war. Sorry, no cash for peace?
Sorry you have to die.
No cash for medicine, sorry you have to die.
Won't divorce the prince, sorry you have to die.
Holy Shit!
Father forgive us, for obviously, we don't have a fucking clue.

Perhaps the most disturbing element of this horrific violence is the resulting spotty coverage of the Kobe Bryant case. Honestly, I've been feeling lost and empty these past two days.
