From The Huffington Post

Recently on Saturday, a series of car bombings went off in Iraq, Baghdad that resulted in many casualties. At least sixty two people are dead from the string of explosions that occurred. A market explosion and suicide bomb in a northern also contributed to the casualties. Since April, over five thousand people have died due to the massive amounts of  bombings in Iraq. The deadliest blasts are occurring in the Narwhan district, where its most recent bombing took fifteen lives and injured eight civilians. Such bombing such as this are a common favored tactic by the Al-Qaeda. They are no stranger to car or suicide bombings, especially in the Baghdad regions. This month alone over five hundred people have been killed to bombings alone. Iraq has hit a all time high for crime and bombings, since two thousand eight. several different areas are constantly under attack, and people are constantly dyeing. Families are being torn apart, along with homes and public buildings. Times like these are when a nation must realize that it is vulnerable, and that its inhabitants are killing each other. Many people are relaying this events back to when George W. Bush was president, blaming his involvement in Iraq for all the trouble that is occurring there now. Whether or not we will help the country now, is up to President Obama's hands now.
