[lbo-talk] AP: Destruction of mosque pushes Iraq towards all-out civil war

[C. G. Estabrook]

To add fuel to the fire, I'll note that a month ago Alex
Cockburn asked, appositely I thought, "How long will it be
before the US is pumping arms and other supplies into the
Sunni resistance as a counter-weight to the Shia?" 

Cui bono is a civil war in Iraq?  Divide et impera is the
imperialist's oldest rule.  --CGE
