Stones Thrown At Iraqi PM...Proverbial Glass House?

Tensions are mounting in Iraq. Reuters reports, Calls for calm as crowd stones Iraq PM:

The motorcade of Iraq's prime minister was pelted with stones on Sunday by fellow Shi'ites in a Baghdad slum when he paid respects to some of the 200 who died there last week in the deadliest attack since the U.S. invasion.

The anger in Sadr City, stronghold of the Medhi Army Shi'ite militia, boiled over on the third day of a curfew imposed on the capital by Nuri al-Maliki's U.S.-backed national unity coalition as it scrambled desperately to stop popular passions exploding into all-out civil war between Shi'ites and the Sunni minority.

"It's all your fault!" one man shouted as, in unprecedented scenes, a crowd began to surge around Maliki. Men and youths then jeered and jostled as his armored convoy edged through the throng away from a mourning ceremony for one of the 202 victims of Thursday's multiple car bomb attack in Sadr City.

Heh. I wonder when Mr. Maliki is going to get fed up and begin to defend his country. Islamic sects, whether Sunni or Shi'ite are tearing Iraq apart. As I've written previously, it's time for the U.S. and Iraqi armies to take action against those who undermine the sovereignty of the Iraqi government.

To think these are self-motivated groups of indigenous peoples is foolish. They are fronts for third-party interests fighting against the U.S. presence in the middle east. The Department of Defense has proof.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. For their enemies may level aforementioned houses in retaliation.
