powerclown: "anti-american biais"? because of the many articles i could have cited here, i happened to choose one from al jazeera?

would the same information be better this way?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story...286368,00.html

or this way, with the ambiguities of the situation all pinned back on al-sadr?
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/19/in...D-IRAQ.html?hp

take your pick, it all comes to the same thing.

this is a kind of complicated situation facing the americans in najaf at the moment--i still think that going into the shrine would be a fiasco for everyone. i think that the americans are being manipulated into taking the fall for allawi's political ambitions--if you have a counter argument rooted in the facts of the situation, then make it--i would be interested in reading it.

but if opposing the war from the outset and continuiing to think it a sad, brutal farce makes me anti-american, then so be it.
but throwing around that label makes you kinda foxnews, powerclown, and frankly i think that is worse.

but enough of this--post a counter interpretation and muster some sources and we'll see what's there.
