TIKRIT, Iraq, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Iraqi insurgents blew up a roadside bomb under an oil pipeline in the central province of Salahudin on Saturday, setting up a huge fire, a provincial police source said.
The pipeline, which carries oil from the northern oil fields of Kirkuk to Beiji refinery, went into flames before midday in the Fatha area near the town of Beiji, 200 km north of Baghdad, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity

All teasing aside, I think when the archeologists of the future look back on this era, they will consider it a miracle that somewhere between 1 and 3 million barrels per day of a flammable liquid were pumped out of this place, despite there being a war, civil war, prolonged insurgency or whatever you want to call it.
I guess what that tells you is that this is where the priorities are. Not trivialities like water and electricity for the population.
