Notes From Candlelight Vigils: Wednesday In Iraq, 55 Killed, 288 Wounded

The Hell that has often been Iraq in recent years continued when on Wednesday, 1/16/13, bombs and gunfire killed 55 people and wounded 288 more. The U.S. has declared its war over but in its aftermath, in various forms the war continues, leaving a grotesque trail of blood and destruction.

To read more, please see http://original.antiwar.com/updates/2013/01/16/iraq-slaughter-55-killed-288-wounded/ It is my hope that despite all that has happened since the U.S. military invasion of 2003, the Iraqi people can find a basis for peace among themselves.
