(this from CNN.COM)
Iraqi forces are prepared to raid a Najaf mosque where Shiite Muslim militiamen are holed up, Iraqi officials said today. Iraq "will not stand with arms folded," said a statement issued by interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi. Earlier, a member of an Iraqi government peace mission said he hoped that stalled peace talks would restart.
Remember all thse voices, including my own, that spoke of the termoil that would be stirred if we went in to Iraq without a long-term plan. Remember those who warned of civil strife and possible civil war.
I pray it doesn't, but fear it will, go very badly with this story in weeks to come. I watched several stories on various channels about this "breaking news". The word "sensitively" and "sensitive" are suddenly being thrown around by people on both sides of the aisle.
Imagine if this same event were happening in the Basillica of St. Peter in Rome. Would the US response, or lack there of, be different?
