Amongst all the vast verbiage and numerous reports about the seemingly inexorable slide toward chaos (and that's not my word, it comes via
Central Command) in Iraq, I think the following
brief passage (From the
Times) is the most horrifying and depressing:
The morgue classifies victims according to their injuries; if a victim has been beheaded, he is a Shi’ite killed by Sunnis. If he has been killed by a power drill to the head, he is a Sunni murdered by Shi’ites. Most victims have been tortured. Bodies are dumped by the roadside and lie there for hours.
I, for one, read this and am at a loss for words.
