    Bomb blasts rock Iraqi churches

    Bombs have gone off near four churches in the Iraqi capital and one in the northern city of Mosul, police say.
    The first occurred outside an Armenian church in central Baghdad. The next hour saw three more churches hit in what looks to be orchestrated attack.

    At least two people are reported killed and more than 20 injured in what seems to be a new tactic by insurgents.

    A blast was reported around the same time later in Mosul, where a police station was bombed earlier in the day.

    Witnesses said a car bomb detonated outside an Armenian church as an evening service was getting under way.

    It blew out stained glass windows, and scattered pieces of hot metal across the street. The wreckage of at least three burned out cars was left in its wake.

    "I saw injured women and children and men, the church's glass shattered everywhere. There's glass all over the floor," Juliette Agob, who was inside the church at the time, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

    All this upsets me immensely.

    Unless the US gets the world into the act, things will get worse.

    It is time that the US understands and sensitise itself to the 'feelings' of the remainder of the world. Most countries of the 'willing' are deserting the sinking ship, so to say.

    US has now again heightended the alert. How long must the US citizens live in a state of fear and the world in uncertainity? It is time to scale down all the sermon from the Mount and get real. It is time that the US once again assumes leadership and not be an international pariah. This terrorism stuff, though real, must stop being an exercise of crying wolf! It will lose its meaning.

    Why must good Americans, Iraqis and other keep dying? Why have we made that idiot Osma larger than life? After 9/11 he alone should have been targeted. We just cant go around stating everyone is an axis of evil. We are losing friends and international support.

    If there was international support, the UN would have got involved. The UN was damned. Europe was damned as 'Old Europe'. If the US was a wee bit more sensitive, more countries would have sent troops. It would have cut down the burden on the US troops and its economy. More countries would have thus been committed. Now it is the US practically alone. Most supporters are quitting one by one.

    What a blasted mess. And there is no exit policy except all this crap about making America secure when it is actually getting dangerous! Or else why have alerts going up and down? Am I to understand that the 'peace of mind' of the only superpower in the world is being dictated by a bunch of emaciated followers of 'Osama be in the Dustbin'? Am I to understand that some Isalmic fundmandentalists are calling the shots and the US reacting to a handful of idiots?

    That's not how the world would like to view the US. Get the US to be a leader once again!

      I wouldn't doubt it.

          They are not Islamists.

          They(which DOES not mean all Moslems) are HUMAN POSTERIORS.

            Sadly, in this country there is no choice. If there is another terrorist attack, and the warning level is low, there will be political hell to pay.

            Agreed, they are flat out evil.

            I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry

            He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
