In the last few weeks we have seen cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published across Europe, resulting in riots and arson.

I would have guessed that Iraq was ready to blow.
So, with excellent timing, somebody dressed as Iraqi Special Forces broke their way into the al-Askari shrine and blew it up.
I have warned that Iraq would be divided along religious lines. A civil war is required for the US/UK to maintain a presence in Iraq.
