Nice Can O' Worms you Opened there

Excuse me for a moment while I try to summon up all the reverence and respect the current President of the United States deserves.

Look what Chimpy McDumbass has managed to enable in Iraq now.

Iraq's Christian community - one of the oldest in the world - has generally been spared the fear of persecution that has plagued many other such communities in the Middle East as a result of the rise in belligerent Islamic movements.

This is also the first time Christian churches have been targeted since the fall of the Baath regime in April last year.

It raises the question of whether the attacks are the work of known Iraqi insurgents and whether they could represent a new tactic by these groups, who are waging war on the multinational troops and the interim government under the banner of Islam.

The power vacuum created by the fall of Saddam Hussein last year saw the emergence of various Islamist groups...

Their aim is to enforce an Islamic code of behaviour, which includes a ban on alcohol and the promotion of the Islamic dress code, ie the veil for women.

These groups share this agenda with other Islamists operating in the Middle East.

Ultimately, they hope to create a society ruled by Islamic Sharia law.

Sharia has been made a quite possible outcome for Iraq thanks to the Bush Administration's criminal failure to consider the question of what to do after the inevitable defeat of Saddam.
