Obadiah Perspective On Bombings In Iraq
Four days after al-Qaida declared war on the Shiites, more than 250 people have been killed. The latest bombing occurred the evening of Saturday, September 17, 2005 at a market outside Baghdad. The car in which the bomb was planted was sitting in front of some fruit and vegetable stands when it blew up, killing 30 people and wounding about 38. Al-Qaida declared war on the Shiites last Wednesday because of the disagreement about the new constitution to be put in effect on October 20, 2005. The Shiites want the new constitution, while the Shunis (of which al-Qaida is part) are strongly against the future constitution of Iraq. Much killing has occurred since September 14, 2005, when the American forces withdrew, and these events have shown how President Bush’s idea of having the American troops over in Iraq wasn’t too horrible or devastating for the people that are now being killed for the hundreds.

Very nice "invisible" reporter! Your style is very professional. I'd like to see the AP and BBC sources linked back up in the body of the article as well as "footnoted" at the bottom.
Your last paragraph is a bit confusing. Could you reword it? If you want us to draw conclusions about Bush's policy as a result of reading this article, you'll need to give us a sort of heads-up at the beginning of the article as well.
The idea of linking this incident with the Bush policy is a good one. We just need more help to get there.
