Because...Because...The Jews
We need to stop trying to export democracy to the Middle East -- costing American soldiers' lives and bajillions of our dollars -- as if that is all a tribal, warring culture needs to discover the beauty of Thomas Jefferson and civilized debate.

Excerpt from an AP story in the LA Times:

BAGHDAD -- A suicide bomber slammed his explosive-laden car into a busy cafe in Iraq's capital late Sunday, a day in which violence across the country killed 45 people, authorities said.

The bombing at the cafe in Baghdad's primarily Shiite Amil neighborhood happened as it was full of customers. The cafe and a nearby juice shop were favorite hangouts of young people, who filled the area at the time of the explosions.

The blast killed 35 people and wounded 45, Iraqi officials said.

Violence has been on the rise in Iraq following a deadly crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp in the northern town of Hawija in April. At least 385 have died in attacks in Iraq so far this month, according to an Associated Press count.

P.S. That link on the word "tribal" is some really interesting and enlightening stuff.
