Scores Killed in Attack on Shiite Pilgrims in Iraq
excerpt:
Hundreds of thousands of Shiites from Iraq, Iran and other countries make their way to Karbala, south of here, during a pilgrimage that marks the end of mourning for Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad who died in battle in the seventh century.
Many make the journey on foot, which can take days and even weeks, stopping at tents that provide food, water and shelter. They do so in defiance of almost daily attacks that have included gunfire, grenades and bombs.
perfect country to create a republic with a nation of people with a tribal mentality
plus they have all that oil.
the american war machine is alive and well
720 military bases around the world says it all about american christianity and its imperialism..
the lack of medical insurance for millions of americans with pre existing conditions and mega profits off the sick and needy says the rest.
