At Least 132 Dead in Bagdad Bombing

Thu Nov 23, 2006 at 07:45:14 AM PDT

In Canada it isn't Thanksgiving, so I have been watching the news closly as it comes in, in Bagdad today there is little reason to give thanks.

In a series of bombs over 132 people have been killed and 200 people have been hurt some seriously.  This occured in Sadr city and was targeting SHia Muslam's.

Over all this can't be good for any slim hopes that exist for peace to come to Iraq.

In the first explosion at about 1500 local time, a car exploded in the Jamila food market, where eyewitnesses told reporters burned bodies and human flesh littered the ground.

More after the flip.

When will the ramaining 30% of people understand that this is a civil war, It will happen if Americans stay for 6 days or 6 years.  

I have no idea how to stop it but staying is no solution obviously, however US troops leaving might lead to Iraqis having one less aggitating influence.  

This is what civil war looks like and the US can't stop it but getting out may help stop it sooner.

Today give thanks but also morn those in Iraq that have very little to give thanks for.
