Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of State, has said that suicide bombings that have rocked Iraq are a sign that fighters are afraid the Iraqi government is succeeding restoring security. It is on record that hillary Clinton is one of those who voted with the Republicans for the war, which cost her dear during her campaign in the primary for nomination. We couldn’t have expected anything better than what she has said during her first official visit to Iraq because she is one of those who helped Bush to invade that peaceful country. Who with right mind would say suicide bombing which took the life of nearly 140 people is a good sign that Iraqi government is succeeding restoring security. One with an average commonsense would say the opposite.

Now the division among the communities has been already created, whether there will be any reconciliation in the future no one knows. Even Clinton has said that this division will remain for a long time and she does not see any way out. Therefore we believe the presence or departure of US troops will not make any difference. In the meantime,the Iraqis will keep cursing all those responsible for the mess they have created in their country.Therefore consoling Iraqis by saying suicide bombing is a positive sign  for security is utter nonsense.
