Finger pointing and Fire bombing.

A brief smattering of viewpoints on the recent Iraqi sectarian violence. I would encourage everyone to read each story, and notice two things:
1) The languaged used to describe the same events.
2) The main idea that each article is conveying.

Why read these? Just to point out that 1) The world is a long way from actually seeing an objective, accurate form of news reporting - in fact, its probable that we will never have that; and 2) In the history of resolving conflicts, assigning blame and looking out for your own interests has never resulted in a successful resolution.

Kudos to all people who work to make peace - it is no small mountain to climb.
