Has anyone mentioned "Pandora's Box" lately?

Reading this article definitely provides another perspective to the tragedy in Iraq. I really wonder if anyone will be ultimately held responsible?

Sadr’s Dark Warning

Wasn't part of the justification for the invasion to protect and liberate those suffering under Suddam's rule? And doesn't it now appear that we're attacking those very people?

"there is still heavy fighting around Sadr City, a vast impoverished quarter of Baghdad in which some two million people are living.
“I’m giving the last warning and the last word to the Iraqi government,” said Mr. Sadr. “Either it comes to its senses and takes the path of peace ... or it will be [seen as] the same as the previous government [of Saddam Hussein].

The Sadrists see the attack on them as orchestrated by the Badr Organisation, the powerful Shia militia which is allied to the government and many of whose men have joined the Iraqi army and security services. “If they don’t come to their senses and curb the infiltrated militias, we will declare an open war until liberation,” Mr. Sadr said.

We need to get while the gettin's good, so to speak. I pity the next compassionate, ethical administration (is that even a reality?) to try and traverse the horrendous mess this administration has gotten us into.

Ignorance is not bliss.
