A bombing this month outside of Baghdad killed another 33 people. When we hear these things on the news every day 33 people doesn't sound like a whole lot, but in reality, the death toll of the war in Iraq is larger than anyone can imagine. American and Iraqi deaths alike, they should not be happening any longer. The bombing was a frightening clue that Jihadis and Baathists may be uniting to threaten the Iraqi capital-and officials are worried. Many recent attacks have been on Americans with relatively high security, showing that they were planned out and coordinated far in advance. Some members of the former al Qaeda supporters as well as those of Saddam Hussein are rumored to have banded together and are planning to destabilize Iraq and the US military that occupies it. Suicide bombs, car bombs, regular bombs, machine guns. Everyone needs to work together to bring back peace to both of our countries because the war has lasted too long.
