GIs encircle Iraq holy sites

Iraq may be about to erupt. Once again (still?) Sadr is surrounded in Najaf and is vowing to fight. If, as seems inevitable, the US forces attack him in a mosque they will find people in Iraq care much more for the mosque than Sadr.

Of course, if they don't attack then they leave a huge problem in their wake.

That is a classic quagmire. Act and the problem escalates, but fail to act only at your peril. Too bad nobody saw it coming but the millions of people that protested worldwide.
