Agence France-Presse:
Dozens were feared dead in Iraq as militias launched apparent revenge attacks on Sunni mosques in Baghdad in the wake of the deadliest string of bombings against Shiites since the war began in 2003.
The raging tit-for-tat attacks between Iraq's warring Shiite and Sunni communities forced President Jalal Talabani to postpone his visit to Tehran where he was to meet his hardline counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday.
A few hours before the attack on Sunni mosques, Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's political group threatened to quit the national unity government if Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki meets US President George W. Bush in Jordan on November 29.
At least four Sunni mosques were attacked by militias in western Baghdad, a security official said, in an apparent Shiite revenge attack for Thursday's deadly bombings targeting the capital's district of Sadr City.
At least 202 people were killed in the bombings.
Does that sound like a civil war to you? Sure does to me. It's time to stop pretending there's any way to pull this out of the dumper.
