Looks like Sistani is going to have to choose a side now...

Al Sadr's men shoot the unarmed demonstrators... And one of Al Sadr's supporters blames us.

I think they did this on purpose.

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani probably wishes he hadn't come back.

"It is all Sistani's fault," said Ali Mizahim. "He told us to come here and he betrayed us again."

Fool me once; shame on you....

These people are simply too stupid to be pulled out of the 12th century. How about simply building a 100 ft. wall around the entire country, then filling it full of water.

Wait, this is all part of a "grand plan."

How dare you question the military commanders who are on the ground, you armchair General?

Misleading thread title alert! I thought this was going to be about the U.S. "Dream Team".

We should have taken the gloves off with Al Sadr long ago.

Looks like it's time for a more sensitive war.

the hidden line of men who were marked only by flying bullets.

Why is the author being so vague about who is doing the shooting? Is it our guys, or Sadr's militia?
