From NYT: "Large crowds marched in the city of Najaf today, the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, to protest the American occupation of Iraq."
PS NBN TV showed a section where an Israeli flag was drawn on the ground, so that people would stomp on it. That brought back memories: do you remember how Ahmad Chlabi (before he became a stooge for Muqtada As-Sadr) and Kanaan Makiyya assured the US administration that Iraqi Shi`ites would form a bridge to Israel, and that they would lead normalization with Israel?
