Iraq Is now like so many other muslim countries , under siege by a few , trying to impose their will upon the many !
Most people in Iraq want to be left alone to work and raise their family , but they have also become like sheep , they stand around and never do anything about their situation , Always waiting for someone else to take care of it for them !
And ultimately blaming someone else for it !
BAGHDAD (Reutersir) - Two suicide bombs tore through Baghdad on Sunday, killing 132 people, wounding more than 500 and leaving mangled bodies and cars on the streets in one of Iraq's deadliest days this year, police said.
Violence has fallen in Iraq since U.S.-backed tribal sheikhs helped wrest control from al Qaeda militants and Washington sent extra troops but attacks are still common in a nation trying to rebuild from years of conflict, sanctions and strife.
The two blasts shredded buildings and smoke billowed from the area near the Tigris River. The first bomb targeted the Justice Ministry and the second, minutes later, was aimed at the nearby provincial government building, police said.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's office said that the bombs were meant to sow chaos in Iraq similar to attacks on August 19 against the finance and foreign ministries, and were aimed at stopping a parliamentary election in January.
"It is the same black hands (as the August 19 attack) who are covered in the blood of the Iraqi people," said the statement from the prime minister's office.
"They want to cause chaos in the nation, hinder the political process and prevent the parliamentary election."
Maliki, who went to the bomb site, is widely expected to run on improved security. The attacks were launched as his government tries to sign multi-billion dollar oil deals, expected to turn Iraq into the world's third largest crude producer.
Government officials said the bombings were likely the work of al Qaeda or remnants of Saddam Hussein's former Baath party.
