Al Qaeda drives Iraq toward chaos
Security inside Iraq is unraveling at an alarming pace, and al Qaeda terrorists there aren’t just pulling the thread; they’re setting it on fire.
More than 1,000 Iraqis were killed in bombings and shootings last month, making July the deadliest month since violence between Sunni and Shiite Muslims peaked from 2006 to 2008, the United Nations says.
On Thursday, gunmen stormed a policeman’s home in Tikrit and killed him, his wife and their three children. When neighbors later approached the house, a nearby car bomb exploded and killed eight people — a noted al Qaeda tactic, though the terrorist group has not claimed responsibility for the attack.
In the past week alone, more than 85 Iraqis have been gunned down or blown up.
“We are certainly seeing a rise of al Qaeda in Iraq,” said Anthony Cordesman, a defense analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. . . .

This is what comes of cross-civilizational 'nation building,' somewhat as if China were to sacrifice thousands of its young people in the clueless belief that it could turn America into an outpost of Chinese civilization, because their ruling elites believe that China has become an 'idea nation' and the natural enlightened superiority of the Chinese Way will simply be recognized and adopted by others who are temporarily less evolved.
