Iraq

Deadly Explosion re-confirms doubts and fears in Baghdad

On Thursday, two bombs went off killing 12 people and wounding 48. The first bomb went off in a music store which reportedly killed two individuals. This caused panic as rescue workers and construction workers rushed to the scene to aid the wounded when another bomb went off. Although no party has claimed the bombing yet, it reconfirms the fears that once American pulls out there solders in December, the country will not yet be strong enough to maintain security and violence will again raise.

If Iraq can not maintain there own sense of security once the U.S. leaves, this could cause a potential power vacuum which would only lead to more violence until a power could cause order and gain control. However, this power is often a dictator which would only lead Iraq to be in the state they were in before we invaded in the first place. The worry is that Thursdays bombing could be just a taste of what may happen once America leaves Iraq,
