Would you like warlords with that?

While the Bushites whistle their happy tune completely divorced from reality, Middle East Fuckup Version 1.0 is getting far worse in a big hurry. As "sectarian violence" escalates (so does that mean that those guys who wear Union and Confederate uniforms in staged battles and campsites are "Sectarian Violence re-enactors?"), it is also metastasizing into something far worse. Time correspondent Aparism Ghosh has a cover story this week entitled Life in Hell: A Baghdad Diary.

I haven't read it yet, but I just heard him interviewed and he said that even the relative "stability" of the Shi'a militia-controlled south is turning to violence as the various militias are fighting to establish Afghani warlord-style supremacy.

Something is on the march, and it is NOT freedom.
