I keep wondering - "who would do such a thing?" Who would destroy a thousand year old piece of history in order to influence a two year old politic????
I would like to blame Queda but it's not like them. Only a building was hurt. Queda likes to kill people.
I would like to blame insurgents but it's not like them either. They blow stuff up close to where they live. But they don't blow up their own tourist attraction.
I'm tempted to blame Iranian agents but this seems to risky for them. They are in a position of relative strength and it would be dumb to risk that strength. Same with Badr.
It's tempting to blame the americans just because they are so easy to blame. But their ambassador has been working hard for two months to close sectarian divides and this really hurts him. The american soldiers wouldn't be allowed to do something that hurts the ambassador efforts.
So it's down to three suspects. Sadrists who want to make power grab, baathists who want to keep sunni from joining government, or rogue operators acting without higher approval.
What do the people in Iraq think?
Who do they think would commit this act?
Why would anyone do this???

ترجمه تسؤالات مورون99 اعلاه
" اتسائل عمن يمكن ان سكون خلف هذه الاحداث؟ من يرغب في تدمير قطعه تاريخيه عمرها اكثر من الف عام فقط للتاثير على مجريات عمرها سنتان؟؟؟"
اتمنى ان القي اللوم على القاعده ولكن يبدو لي انه ليس اسلوبهم. حصر الاضرار بالابنيه ليس من اهدافهم . انهم يستهدفون عاده ايقاع اكبر عدد من القتلى.
يمكن ان يكونو المتمردون ولكنه لايبدوا اسلوبهم ايضا. انهم يفجرون في المناطق القريبه عليهم ولكنهم لايفجرون معالم تراثهم السياحي.
ربما هم الايرانيون ولكنها خطوه ربما تكون ذات مخاطر كبيره عليهم. انهم في موقع قوه وربما مثل هذه الامور تقلب الامر عليهم . وكذلك قوات بدر
ممتعا ان نلقيها على الامريكان لانه من السهوله اللقاء اللوم عليهم. ولكن سفيرهم عمل ليلا ونهارا خلال اللشهرين الماضيين لردم الصدع الطائفي وامر كهذا يضر بتلك الجهود
الجنود الامريكان لايمكنهم التصرف خالرج تلك السياسه
لذا فانها ستنحصر بثلاثه متهمين , الصدريين اللذين يطمحون لفرض سيطرتهم, البعثيين لانهم يعملون على ابعاد السنه عن العمليه السياسيه , او عصابات صغيره تعمل بدون تنسيق واوامر عليا
..ماذا يعتقد العراقيون؟
من يرونهم خلف هذه العمليه؟
من ممكن ان يعملها؟
???
