Reading all this I get the feeling that the Iraqi people were better off under the disgusting dictator Saddam Hussein. He had put a lid on all religions, which was a good and necessary control.

Iraq wars gaining traction
Friday 7th April, 2006

There is no longer one war raging in Iraq.
There are now at least three different, though overlapping ones, and very soon their number could rise to four.
.
The first war, of course, is the already nearly three-year-old Sunni Muslim insurrection against both U.S. forces and the democratically elected Iraqi government in Baghdad. This is the war that understandably has preoccupied the American public, Congress and Bush administration policymakers.
.
But since the Feb. 22 bombing of the al-Askariya, or Golden Mosque, in Samara, the Sunni insurgents have succeed in provoking a massive and far-ranging grassroots Shiite reaction against them. This has been flaring on a far vaster scale on both sides than the Sunni insurgents -- originally led by a combination of former Saddam Hussein Baath party loyalists and al-Qaida extreme Islamists -- wanted to achieve.
