		<description>Let me say 3 things first:

1- I know mob violence falls mainly on the innocent
2- As a conservative partisan I know this sound like I&#039;m trying to spin this tragic event
3- 1300 murdered people is nothing to be dismissive of

BUT

The Sunni have it coming. There, I said it.

I don&#039;t buy this crap for one second that the insurgency is opperating without the diffused and gerneralised support of the mainstream Sunni population, these people have supported the bombers and killers because they think it&#039;s in their interest to do so. They think Sunni terrorism and continuous threats against their fellow citizens offsets their lack of demographic weight. Every time a so-called sunni moderate makes some speach &#039;denouncing&#039; the latest atrocity, it contains a veiled threat concerning how this is really all America/the iraqi governments fault and if some concession is not made there will be further terrorist atrocities and America/the Iraqi government will only have themselves to blame. All their political theater, the walk-outs and boycotts are synced with the bombing and murder campaigns (the baathist ones anyway). These people are using murder as a political tool, and alot, I say MOST and you can disagree if you will, Sunni are quietly going along with it. That fills me with utter contempt.

Too many Sunni, who are not necessarily involved in the insurgency themselves, have been privately making this disgusting, cynical calculations. They need to wake up to the prospect that Shia/Kurdish patience is not infinite and if the civil war the jihadi vermin have been formenting actually breaks out, they will be exterminated along with the car bombers and assasins

Personally I think it a miraculous that the Shai have absorbed the amount of barbarism they have in the last 30 years and not gone on a vengeance spree.</description>
