Government Fissures Widening
BAGHDAD — Months of bloodshed have threatened to loosen the bonds holding together Iraq's fractious government, with tensions between political blocs spilling out in recent days in fiery rhetoric as well as fighting that left more than 130 people dead nationwide.
Disagreements over several contentious issues burst into the open with a highly divisive vote on the issue of parceling Iraq into federal districts, finger-pointing over the assassination of a top politician's brother and a series of massacres between rival Shiite Muslims and Sunni Arabs north of the capital.

Is it just me or have all the predictions of what this war could lead to simply coming true? Here we see the new government cracking up for lack of any popular support (for better or for worse, that happens). And we also see civil war happening, not necessarily fullscale, but in its infancy. And we also see yet more people growing up to despise the United States.
I don't think any of this stuff is a coincidence or the fault of the "liberal media." It seems based mostly on our policies which simply encourage conflict in every possible way.
