(Reuters) - More than 70 people were killed in a wave of bombings in markets in Shi'ite neighborhoods across Baghdad on Monday in worsening sectarian violence in Iraq.
No group claimed responsibility for the blasts. But Sunni Muslim Islamist insurgents and al-Qaeda' s Iraqi wing have increased attacks since the beginning of the year and often target Shi'ite districts.

More than 700 people were killed in attacks in April, according to a U.N. count, the highest monthly toll in almost five years. So far in May more than 300 have died.
Thousands of Sunnis began staging street protests last December against Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, whom they accuse of marginalizing their sect since the fall of Saddam Hussein after the 2003 invasion.

Really. That democracy exporting is quite the thing.
we did.
Obama gave it back
IMO, we should pull out of the middle east, except to support Israel, and let the sunnis and shia fight it out among themselves. We should only get involved from time to time to help the losing side and keep things going.
Well, they’ve got Chicago beat for the “Murder City” title, for sure. Deadfish Tinkerbell faggot Emmanuel can point to someplace else, now.
When your enemies are killing each other, get out of the way.
At least now we know how the Cro-Magnon felt about the Neanderthals.
bigheadfred laughs out loud
I think I high time America’s Middle East policy became strictly one of supporting Israel and letting them sort out who is King of the pile of horse pucky in any way they think best.
After they get done killing each other and have figured out how to behave like a civilized society they can give Western Civilization a call.
The Muslims back to killing each other , good.
As sad as I am to say this...these people can’t handle freedom or democracy.
They need a heavy handed dictator to keep them in line.
As it has been in the past..so shall it be in the future.
When your houses of worship teach slavery and death it's hard to live in peace and freedom.
When your enemies are killing each other, get out of the way.

I wish the idiots John McCain and Lindsey Graham would “get” that.
Wish we could just let them off each other and stay out of it as long as they leave Isreal alone. Syria too.
What irks me is all our guys we lost due to rules of engagement to avoid civilian deaths, then as soon as we leave they just start killing each other.
Sell them some more bombs
No wonder the Palestinians are so pissed off at them.
Those middle eastern savages haven’t learned much in 5,000 years.
