Bloodshed in Iraq

On April 25, 2013, Ned Parker of the Los Angeles Times wrote an article called "Iraq Fighting Leaves at Least 41 More People Dead". The article discusses about an event that occurred on Thursday, when Iraqi security forces fought against Sunni Arabs. Thirty one of the casualties were from the Sunni Arabs, but the rest were security forces. There are two ways of looking at this. The good way to look at it is that Iraq has the capability now to protect itself and has a force that can do so. The bad part of this is that the forces are not well trained, causing casualties, and also there is a rise of conflict again between the people. To start of with the casualties, it is crucial that a force that has been newly developed has as least casualties as possible because it begins to make the morale of the men go down, and their effectiveness on the battlefield can lower also. Next, rising conflicts in Iraq can cause international danger again also. Because the United States settled the country down, but did not clear the country completely from the fighters, problems like such can occur. Yes, the United States trained the forces and supplied them as much as they can, but the fighters gave so much trouble against the United States, so we can just imagine how much trouble they will give to the Iraqi security forces. Hopefully, nothing big begins again in Iraq.
