It is partially what Rumsfeld calls "thumbsucking", but it is also partly an orchestrated effort by the Iranian mullahs to extend their reach. Had it not been for the CIA and DOS, Chalabi would now have an interim Iraqi Adminstration managing this stuff and the military would be free to roust out the Irani (and Syrian) troublemakers there. This is a very perilous time, though I do not believe these demonstrators represent the majority opinion. They are to create well-publicized incidents designed to create trouble for the administration both there and at home in an effort to force us to leave before the military's job is over. Free Chalabi and the INC NOW--
