More "displacements" in Iraq

As the regulars here know, I have been troubled by the Iraqi "displacements" for some time, but for the humanitarian crisis they represent, but also for the geographical sectarianization they represent. Much like the wars in the former Yugoslavia, I see this ethnic cleansing as a step that will lead to a more open civil war as the various groups, once geographically homogenized, will begin to fight over their bordering territories.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Sectarian violence has forced about 100,000 families across Iraq to flee their homes, a top Iraqi official said, as six more Iraqis were killed in scattered violence on Saturday.

Working from the earlier estimates, "an Iraqi family" constitutes 6-10 people, so using this number we'd be looking at 600,000 refugees. It must be said that earlier estimates put the numbers between 60,000 and 90,000 people, but this number is so jawdropping that it caught my attention.
