War?

Oh yeah, that war.

A double suicide attack on Shiite Muslim pilgrims in the southern city of Hilla killed as many as 77 people and wounded another 170. It was the worst single bombing since Feb.3, when 130 people died in an attack in the Sadriya neighborhood of Baghdad.
The pilgrims were walking to the holy city of Karbala as part of a religious celebration that marks the 40th day after the massacre in the 7th Century of Imam Hussein and his family. Shiite men and women throughout Iraq walk from their homes to Karbala every year to reach the tomb of Imam Hussein, where they believe the severed heads of Hussein and his family are buried.


But we need to not do anything about it so Joe Lieberman can continue to work in peace.
