Bad news from Baghdad

According to the BBC, at least 30 people have been killed and about 100 injured in a double suicide bombing at a revered Shia shrine in Baghdad. New statistics from Iraq's health ministry say that since 2005 when violence worsened more then 87,000 Iraqis have been killed. Just a sign that it will not be so easy to leave Iraq and turn our focus to Afghanistan and Pakistan as quickly as we had hoped.
