| 233 killed in Iraq, most in bombings |

| Suspected Sunni insurgents penetrated the Baghdad security net Wednesday, hitting Shiite targets with four bomb attacks that killed 183 people — the bloodiest day since the U.S. troop increase began nine weeks ago. The most devastating blast struck the Sadriyah market as workers were leaving for the day, charring a lineup of minibuses that came to pick them up. At least 127 people were killed and 148 wounded, including men who were rebuilding the market after a Feb. 3 bombing left 137 dead. Wednesday's car bombing appeared meticulously planned. It took place at a pedestrian entrance where tall concrete barriers had been erected after the earlier attack. It was the only way out of the compound, and the construction workers were widely known to leave at about 4 p.m. — the time of the bombing. More at link. |

| #7 It would have been cheaper; and at the cost of less American lives if we had just slapped Saddam on the wrist and turned our 'head' and let him go! |

| #6 Two generations max sounds about right. Probably one generation for the most far-gone countries, like Sweden and France. |

| #4 We just need to be patient. Another few centuries and they'll probably get this religion thing out of their systems for good. |

| #3 Saudi Arabia must be taken offline immediately. If not, at least snuff the following: Prince Sultan Ibn Abd al-Aziz Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz The House of Saud desperately needs a shot across the bow such as this. Why a demonstration of this sort was not provided after 9-11 is something that Bush must wrestle with for his remaining life. |

| #1 God speed to the innocent victims. At some point, these born into Islam will realize: "If this is my religion, I don't want anything to do with it". (It is, anyone can become an infidel tomorrow). |
