#1 Sunni terrorists usually keep out of Karbala. The Shis might go for serious payback.

#2 I would check on the Iranians. They could be trying to stir up fecal matter. They don't care about Iraqis of any sect. It's part of their terrorist war on the "Great Satan." Iraq must fail for them to have a win.

#3 I thought the weddings were something, but the funerals... man.

#4 Howard UK:

Where have you been? This is about the fifth or sixth time Michael Moore's Resistance/Freedom Fighters have bombed a funeral.

I guess they believe that sometimes you're only partially dead so booming a funeral procession is a way to make sure the dead are very DEAD.

#5 I wonder just how long it's going to take Iraq's Shiites to seriously reassess Iran's track record of terrorist sponsorship and overall regional mayhem. The sooner they do this and thereby reach a major disconnect with the Qom bloodsuckers, the better. Yes, the violence being done to them is of Sunni origin, but Iran's constant hyper-violence is also setting the tone for regional strife.

When Iraq's Shiites finally reject Iranian-style terrorism and seek true resolution of sectarian strife, only then will they be able to point a blameless finger at Sunni attackers. Until then, all of this is essentially one extremely brutal pissing contest and nothing more.

#6 Where have you been? This is about the fifth or sixth time Michael Moore's Resistance/Freedom Fighters have bombed a funeral.

Brave jihadis in Italy planned on attacking a WWII cemetary. In Spain, a jihadi dug up, beheaded, and burned the body of an officer killed by terrorists.

I suspect jihadis like attacking corpses; they're even less likely to fight back than women and children.
