Lining Up The Coffins in Iraq

Don’t expect to see this on your news tonight.

Coffins of Kurdish people killed during former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s rule are seen during a ceremony at Arbil’s airport, northern Iraq, October 17, 2005. The bodies of some 7,500 members of the Kurdish Barzani tribe, who were made captive and then executed were buried in mass graves at the border between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, were brought to Arbil on Monday for reburial.

Iraqis joyfully celebrated the successful historic election on Saturday on their first democratic Constitution. They expect the announcement of its approval at any time.

Also, in this same week in Iraq, the “Butcher of Baghdad” is getting ready for his genocide trial that is scheduled to begin on Wednesday.

These are wonderful events for the people of Iraq and for the future of the Middle East. Who could have guessed that these events were possible two or three short years ago?
