Democracy Rapidly Takes Root In Iraq! Iraqis Form A Million Man March In Karbala

I'm Sure EVERYTHING Is Going According To The "Dream Team's" Plan

At least 1 million protest in Iraq - Finally reported by MSNBC

OVER A MILLION Shiites -- some ritually flailing themselves, others slashing their heads with swords - have crowded into this holy city over the past few days for a festival mourning the martyred grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.

Such pilgrimages had been tightly regulated for decades under Saddam Hussein - and practices like flailing were banned outright. But with Saddam's fall, it was a whole new day for Iraq's long-suffering Shiites.

At the anti-American protest, Shiites carried banners with messages such as "No to America, no to Israel, yes to Islam." The demonstrators marched through the streets for an hour before dispersing.
