Iraq is sliding deeper into the abyss of civil war. and our brave men and women are caught in the middle of it. Prospects for halting the sectarian violence are bleak. Greater chaos and anarchy are looming ahead. Needless additional U.S. causalities are inevitable. The facts speak for themselves. According to the United Nations. nearly 35.000 civilians were violently killed in Iraq last year. Most were killed in Baghdad. where "unidentified bodies killed executionstyle are found in large numbers daily." More than 2 million refugees have fled the violence in Iraq. and another 1.8 million have been displaced internally. Our military should not be caught in the middle of this quagmire. Only a political solution can solve Iraqs problems.
