Watching a train wreck in slow motion!

The situation in Iraq is getting worse every day. Things are so violent there. Formerly, a VIP from USA could sneak into the Green Zone in Baghdad for a few hours, and get back without his hide being blown off. Not any more! That probably explains why, later this month, President Bush is gong to Jordan, instead of Baghdad, to meet the Iraqi Prime Minister al Maliki. Meanwhile, the Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is threatening to bring down the shaky Iraqi government by withdrawing his support.

I feel like I am watching a train wreck in slow motion!
