"Some protesters, who were armed, fired toward the Spanish troops, who responded by firing on the crowd. It was carnage."

The terrorists and insurgents are doing this with a will. They mean to take any demonstration that they can and turn it into carnage in the hopes of arousing the people against the process bringing freedom to Iraq.

Sheikh Moqtada Sadr is our leader. He's going to lead Iraq. Today we fought the occupation troops and we will keep fighting them until we take over," said 23-year-old Mohammad Hanoun, a protester wielding a chain in Baghdad.

I think this just did Sadar in. The Iraqi people have no intentions of living under an Iranian type clerical leader like Sadar. I expect this guy is going to be spending some time in the Iraqi slammer.

This seems SO transparent IMHO. Exploit a possible divide in the coalition (Thanks to Spain's new PM), terrorists infiltrate or help organize a "demonstration", draw fire from the troops into the crowd and there you have it - a instant "2 for 1":

1. Draw up more anti-coalition angst in Iraq, and 2. Spain now has another excuse to appease terrorists.

What exactly is the differance between a protest and an armed mob ?
