Thousands have marched on Najaf at the urging of Moktada al-Sadr, to protest the American presence in Iraq:
“The enemy that is occupying our country is now targeting the dignity of the Iraqi people,” said lawmaker Nassar al-Rubaie, head of Mr. Sadr’s bloc in parliament, as he marched, according to the A.P. “After four years of occupation, we have hundreds of thousands of people dead and wounded.”
Here at Lerterland we support a troop withdrawal from Iraq. But Mr. al-Rubaie is a consummate hypocrite. History will record the Mahdi Army’s own lavish contribution to the Iraqi death toll.
