In Iraq, it's coming
(Reuters) Six car bombs across Baghdad kill 34.
The Shia government has not taken in the US bribed Sunni militias, and has now begun to arrest Sunni militia figures. This increased violence in Baghdad is the Sunni response. How the Iraqi government responds may well determine whether Iraq goes back to open civil war.
We're approaching a critical point in this. Keep an eye on it.

I agree. But I think it's a critical point that can only be settled by Iraqi's. At least militarily.
Diplomacy can certainly be used, but as long as there's this pent up, sectarian, tribal war-wish going on between Iraqi factions, we'd do well to back off militarily. We only serve as a lid on a pressure cooker.

The US will be blamed by both sides.

I concur with both of you.
Only the Iraqis can solve it, and the US will get blamed.
