Hope for democracy in Iraq as political violence escalates

Over the past month, there has been an increase in political violence in Iraq again.

But, instead of the US bases or convoys that are often attacked, there were some less-usual targets. Last week, grenades were thrown at offices belonging to Sunni Muslim and Iraqi Kurdish political parties in Baghdad.

On Sunday, grenades were lobbed at two Kurdish-owned banks in the capital.

On Monday, the house of a Shiite Muslim cleric in Muthanna province was attacked by gunmen.

That I wasted all that time over there.
And to think all it cost was my marriage and a worse life for my children. Thanks Bushie.
