This is Going Well

Just another success story in George Bush’s global war on stability and reason. The Independent:
The speaker of the fledgling Iraqi parliament has announced a 24-hour extension to talks over the country’s new constitution on a day of renewed sectarian infighting that left at least 40 people dead.
Hajim al-Hassani declared the second extension to negotiations shortly after the midnight deadline. “We found that time was late and we saw that the matters will need another day in order to reach results that please everyone, ” he said.
The chaos inside the new legislature continued against the background of another surge in violence.
The latest bloodshed  including the deaths of 13 policemen and an American  came after dozens of masked gunmen occupied parts of Baghdad. President Jalal Talabani escaped an assassination attempt in which eight of his bodyguards were killed and 15 injured. In further evidence of sectarian unrest, the bodies of 36 men, thought to be Kurds, were found in a dry river bed near the Iranian border at Badrah. They had been “executed” with shots to the head.
And still some question the sanity of those who question this madness. I can’t even begin to fathom the mindset. Objective reality does exist, doesn’t it?
