BAGHDAD – The violent situation in Iraq is deteriorating and it looks as if the extreme end has reached. The people are so tense that anything can happen and the people are ready for any disaster or destruction. President of National Integration Assembly (NIA) World Peace Mission Body has appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to use his good offices and help restore peace to avoid civil war.

It brought the worse position on Thursday and Friday (IST Times), the people were against people, having neither mercy nor sympathy as a human being.  It looked as if Iraq were burning within hearts. People were mercilessly firing against the other people belonging to other community or those whom they don’t like. In short, disorder was seen everywhere.

Any body moving side looked tense, there was no special reason why the people were carrying guns to kill one another. Some people were blaming the militia loyal to the Shiite cleric, Moktada al-Sadr, for unruly attacks. People were saying it is the job of Mahdi Army, who was massacring the people of the other community among others.

Another glaring factor was that the fighters are unorganized but moving in strong groups.  It should be remembered that they fought two uprisings against the American military at the command of the strongly anti-American Mr. Sadr.

According to views of the general people, the entire pain and anger have clubbed together which they had hidden in their hearts and that has come out as a burst of anger. Probably, they mean that the bombing of the Samarra shrine is the cause of   wrath and pain.

As per New York Times the violence on Wednesday was the closest Iraq had come to civil war, and Iraqis were stunned. In Al Amin, a neighborhood in southeast Baghdad, a Shiite man said he had watched gunmen set a house on fire. It was identified as the residence of Sunni Arab militants, said the man, Abu Abbas, though no one seemed to know for sure who they were.

"We all were shocked," said Abu Abbas, a vegetable seller, standing near crates of oranges and tomatoes. "We saw it burning. We called the fire department. We didn't know how to behave. Chaos was everywhere."

Of the seven men inside, at least three were brought out dead, said Abu Abbas, 32, who said it would be dangerous to give more than his Iraqi nickname.

Everything felt different on Thursday morning. A Shiite newspaper, Al Bayyna al Jadidah, used unusually angry language in a front-page editorial: "It's time to declare war against anyone who tries to conspire against us, who slaughters us every day. It is time to go to the streets and fight those outlaws."
 
Shiites are fed up, and heeded their leaders' calls for restraint only grudgingly. The anger, he said, is simmering. "Maybe this is just the beginning."

"If they have 100 people, we have millions," Mr. Metheb added, motioning to the wide stream of demonstrators. "Look at these people. I'm just a drop in this ocean."
