Even the Russians think its a civil war in Iraq

The Russian newspaper Pravda says that there is no doubt that Iraq is descending into civil war. The Sunni Arabs are being pushed out of the Kurd controlled North, out of even their stronghold areas of Central Iraq. They think there’s probably a refugee population of 300,000 to 400,000 Iraqis inside the country.

To add fuel to the fire of sectarian violence, mass murders occur daily incited by both sides, the Shiites and the Sunnis.

The only positive aspect according to Pravda is that a fascist regime under Saddam Hussein was removed from but at a continuing horrendous cost with the additional problem of opening the Pandora’s box of sectarian violence that Saddam’s secular regime had kept under control.

According to Pravda which puts the current scenario in historical context:

 ”This phenomenon can be partly explained with historical peculiarities of the Iraqi population which never became one single nation. The first Iraqi King Faysal said shortly before his death that there was no Iraqi nation, but just a group of human creatures deprived of all patriotic ideas, but filled with religious traditions and all kinds of absurdities, subjected to evil and anarchy. Sunnis have been suppressing their country-fellows, Shiites, and even their coreligionists, Kurds, for hundreds of years. When Hussein’s era came to its ends, the Shiites, which made up to 60 percent of the national population, decided that it was their time to take revenge for all troubles and tribulations. “

The above view is also shared by American experts on Iraq. It goes to show that the current U.S. administration under Bush and Co never paid attention to history in its “non plan” of the Post War in Iraq.
