I do not know about anyone else but the following scenario kind of worries me (and would really worry me even more if I were the president or any of his administration members that are trying to stem the tide of violence in the mideast.
It seems that two very violent and dangerous forces are gathering together to create a "shitstorm" like the world has not seen a very long time......someone needs to get control of this situation before it escalates into something far worse. (But I have a sinking feeling it is already too late).
A few paragaphs from the AP story and then a link to the rest of the story:
____________________________________________
Hundreds of thousands of Shiites chanting "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" marched through the streets of Baghdad's biggest Shiite district Friday in a show of support for Hezbollah militants battling Israeli troops in Lebanon.
No violence was reported during the rally in the Sadr City neighborhood. But at least 35 people were killed elsewhere in Iraq, many of them in a car bombing and gunbattle in the northern city of Mosul.
The demonstration was the biggest in the Middle East in support of Hezbollah since the Israeli army launched an offensive July 12 after a guerrilla raid on northern Israel. The protest was organized by radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose political movement built around the Mahdi Army militia has been modeled after Hezbollah.
Al-Sadr summoned followers from throughout the Shiite heartland of southern Iraq to converge on Baghdad for the rally but he did not attend.
