He hit me back first!
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A major Sunni Arab bloc Thursday suspended talks with Shiite and Kurdish parties on a new government after scores of Sunni mosques were attacked and dozens of bodies found in a wave of reprisal violence following the bombing of a revered Shiite shrine.
Memo to Iraqi Sunnis:
You were in power for twenty-something years despite being the minority. While you were in charge, you were assholes. You killed Shiites, and generally gloated about your awesomely unjust riches. Now the Shiites are in charge, and you're still being a bunch of petulant assholes. You1 blew up a church, and I can't really figure out what that was meant to gain you except to spit in the eyes of the very people who could -- if they chose to -- wipe you off the map of Iraq. Yes, I really do mean genocide. Come on! Targeting a civilian historical site with no political or strategic value whatsoever? Do you want a war? Are you fucking nuts? News flash: There was a war. You LOST. If you try to start a civil war, you will lose, and lose badly. An Iraqi civil war is one of the few justifications for American troops getting the hell out of D'hajj, and if that happens, you will all die. Every Sunni mosque in the country will be levelled before Sunnis take power in Iraq again.
Next time you pick a fight with someone twice your size, don't get pissed off when you get your bitchy little ass kicked... punk.
1. Probably Sunni terrorists working for Zarqawi; it's possible that Iranian or Kurdish fighters did this specifically to start a game of "let's you and him fight."
