Moqtadah al Sadr, is the voice of the Iraqi anti-occupation movement. This article details the huge demonstration in Najaf yesterday. Bottom line, he is saying kill Americans not Iraqis. What would you do if you were an Iraqi? I don't want our men and women killed, but apparently there is nothing we can do short of nuking the whole region, to keep them safe from this guy. I know people who would support that! I can't help but think the Iraqis believe this guy is a George Washington/Robert Schueller rolled into one. The largest military industrial complex in the world, the best trained, best equipped, most motivated soldiers in history, and this guy owns the turf.It's like something I heard once about Vietnam. A journalist was choppering into a forward area and he saw VC shooting arrows at his chopper. He asked another journalist, "how can you lose against someone who would shoot arrows at a helicopter?" The other journalist replied, "how can you beat someone who would shoot arrows at a helicopter?"
