Gunman kill 9 at Sunni TV station in Baghdad
Attacks, bombing, and torture. They are all becoming way to routine in Baghdad and all over Iraq. Yet today, there was the single most deadly attack on news and media since the Iraq quarrel had begun three years ago. In Baghdad there was an attack on the Sunni TV station which killed nine people. The working state of a TV anchor, reporter, and journalists has just gotten to the stage where it is unusually one of the most dangerous occupations there is.That's not all though. Today, Thursday October 12th, 2006, there was also another attack. Two bombs were launched toward the area of a commercial area in central Baghdad. It ended up injuring 10 people and killing five. In that same area, also on Thursday, a suicide bomber biked through with bombs attached to his chest and unfortunately ended up killing 3 people and injuring and wounding 15.
The US and Iraqi forces have put in a strong effort to become better and stop with the constant fighting. In October the numbers of deaths are supposed to go up 20% due to Holy Month of Ramadan. In fact, over 400 bodies alone have been found this month; some appeared to be tortured, have hundreds of gunshots throughout their body, and others slaughtered. As a result of the war around 655,000 Iraqi people have died. Not only has this war affected Iraqi's but also the U.S. soldiers. Alone in October there has been 39 deaths and all together 2746 deaths.
Personally, I don't think we should have gotten ourselves into any situation with Iraq. We went in search for Suddam Hussein and were helping to free Iraq. Now that we have accomplished the task of capturing Suddam I think that it has carried on to long. Iraq is in a civil war with them selves and they kill each other based on religion, beliefs, and many other reasons. I think now that we got ourselves into it, we should still stay and help defend their country. Personally, I think it would be irresponsible and immature to abandon them now, when they need it the most.

The death rate is supposed to go up during Ramadan??? That absolutely disgusts me, Ramadan is supposed to be a month of peace, prayer and meditation. I can not believe this...but then again, I do not even understand how people can kill each other! Anyway, this is really depressing, I wonder what the actual percent of increase will be? *sigh* It is horrible to see that here in the U.S. Ramadan is such an exciting time for American Muslims, yet in a Muslim country everything is in complete turmoil.
