No accord

The Sunni Accord Front is leaving the Iraq government. It took less than a week for Iraq to completely unravel at the seams. Civil War is exploding across the country.

The cause of all of this? A mosque was bombed. If you recall, the US was forced to tread very delicately around mosques during the invasion and al-Sadr campaigns. Maybe it's Zarqawi, maybe somebody else. But the Iraqi psyche has a built-in trigger point. Mess with the mosques and they get seriously pissed off. It was only a matter of time before somebody exploited that trait.
