Iraq - Never-ending Story

There are many things going on about which I would like to comment on. Among current events Iraq keeps being in the news. Today the news is not about fighting between Shiites and Sunnis, but among Shiites themselves. Here is an example of a report on these events. The situation there gets out of control. Religion here completely expands its dividing power, and brainwashed followers bring the country further into ruin. The questions is: leave, to end an involvement which cannot be won, or stay, to fix what was damaged through the presence in the first place.

The Western powers who invaded Iraq acted like the "Sorcerer's Apprentice": not being aware about the powers they would release through their actions, unable to control the outcome. The responsible actors here will bear the full personal responsibility for each death, for each suffering in that country. But of course, nobody will ever go to trial for this...
