allawi changes the rules after al-sadr had agreed to a truce earlier in the week--the americans are in a position to flatten one of the holiest shrines for the shi'a population--there was a way out, but allawi seems to want the americans to take the hit for destroying najaf.
what gives here? |
Your anti-american bias is showing, again.
Al-Sadr
broke the agreement by refusing to disband his militia. He also expressed his desire for 'martyrdom or victory' subsequent to the ultimatum. It seems he still has a chance to give up, as Allawi awaits his final word.
I would think that whatever the Americans do at this point will be characterized by Al-Jazeera in the worst light possible.
