Oh Oh - violence surging in Iraq- truckbomb kills 30

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6651159.stm

<snip>
At least 30 people have been killed and another 50 wounded by a suicide truck bombing in the northern Iraqi town of Makhmur, Iraqi police say.

The bomb exploded near government buildings and the local office of a leading Kurdish party, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).

The local police chief said many bodies were buried under rubble and that he expected the death toll to rise.

1. it is getting worse

This "surge" is not working, it is clear. It can never work.

And the story says the death toll will rise once they search through the rubble.

This is sad beyond belief.

2. It's Mother's Day here, there they just call it another day.

So many soldiers wish they could be with their mothers today, so many mothers grieving on both sides of the world, but gas is cheaper here than in Europe at least.
