#1 Pardon me for asking, but....by any chance...were every last one of the deaders Moslems?

It doesn't have anything to do with the religion does it, or perhaps the values of the Culture?

Do we see a pattern in all of this?

Does it have anything at all to do with the original character of Mohammed or is it something else, like something in the food?

#3 death toll is now in the 40s and might reach 50

Sunnis are suspicious of Iran's relatively heavy influence in the Iraq govt as well as the Iraq govt's discrimination against Sunnis. Of course this could have resulted in protests and petitions. But this is Iraq.

#4 I kind of feel bad for them. But they didn't want our help. And now I'm kind of glad we aren't there to give it. When the game is 'heads, I win; tails, you lose' the best choice is to not play.

#5 Sunni and Shia going at it again, but I don't see anything on how our Kurdish allies from before are doing. I was under the impression they were in position to take a chunk of Iraq when the Civil War hits.
