Just thought I'd state the obvious going into the next week's convention-o-rama.
On another note, is Sistani really going to march into the Shrine of Imam Ali? This is keeps getting more and more surreal.
After meeting with al-Sistani, Basra Gov. Hassan al-Rashid told reporters that the cleric would lead a march Thursday to Najaf. The masses will gather at the outskirts of Najaf, and they will not enter the city until all armed men, except the Iraqi policemen, withdraw from the city, he said.
Yep, I relate with your surrealism, and both our instincts are correct...just happen to be up at this unconventional hour of the CNN breaking news: snipper fire with casualties...Mosque in Kufa, 2 mortars inside mosque and 1 outside, 25 killed, 60 wounded (preliminary report)...no report on who the snipers were/are (yeah, as if we didn't know)...
*no words to describe my undefined intense emotion*
