In the days of Saddam, we had maybe 16 shootings a month. Now we have more than that every day. |
Nobody knows who's killing whom. Even the police don't know. Everybody is vulnerable, and no part of the community is immune. |
When you have this number of killings every day, when you have 676 people die from shooting in a month, you're talking about mass killing. It's not civil war, but it's instability, and it's out of control. |
