In the second of Ghaith Abdul-Ahad's series of three films he visits Baghdad's killings fields on the edge of Sadr City. The scene of thousands of sectarian murders over the last three years, it is a desolate and evil place: 'Only the killers and the killed ever come here' says Abdul-Ahad. Here in the thousands of unmarked graves lie the victims of the Shia militia gangs.

In Iraq we are witnessing a power struggle caused by the sudden removal of central authority, and the current power-hungry leaders employ religious adherence as a mark of solidarity and mobilisation to strengthen their hold on power, money, and influence.

The only way for peace is in fact to get each region independence that's all.

Media-

Who cares if crimes of atrocities happen,such as the killing fields of Baghdad and Cambodia....or even North Korea

We can't sacrifice a few thousand soldiers ,and spend a few hundred billion

to end the suffering of tens of millions around the world....all those lives and money can be used improve citys like Detroit!

there just needs to some Islamic "Pope" to clearly define what the Koran means. That way dumbshits wont go around killing people for ridiculous reasons. for religion being such a pacifistic ideology it sure kills a lot more people than anything else.
