It should be updated. A button to reverse the chronological order (most recent first/most distant first) back and forth would be handy. Here's a few items of critical importance for the update: April 9, 2007---Following the call of Muktada Al-Sadr, ONE MILLION Iraqis march on Najaf under the banner of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi national flags. The march filled the main road leading to Najaf for EIGHT MILES. Demonstrators fervently called for an end to the American occupation while marching on, burning, and ripping up the American flag, which has become a hated symbol of neo-colonialist occupation. This mammoth demonstration was made up mainly of the largely heretofore Shia, but was also lead by and joined by clerics and members of other faiths and all anti-occupation political trends. Thousands of Iraqi soldiers and police in uniform were part of the march. No sectarian banners were flown---only the Iraqi flag. And there was not single incident of violence reported during this huge outpouring. Through a spokesman, Al-Sadr called upon all Iraqis to oppose the occupation and demand that American and other occupation troops leave Iraq immediately, demanded that the Maliki government insist that the US set a date for its withdrawal, and called on Iraqis to cease fratricidal, sectarian violence and concentrate their blows on the occupiers. This march and demonstration mark a new stage in the Iraqi resistance to US occupation. Lead by Iraqi nationalist and Shia leader Muktada Al-Sadr, it will usher in a stage in which the hertofore largely quiescient Shia take the lead in ending the US-British occupation. The Shia make up about 60% of Iraq's population and are concentrated largely in Baghdad. the Shia holy lands in and around Najaf and Karbala, and the oil rich South including Iraq's only port city of Basra, which together command the US supply corridor from Kuwait. The April 9 demonstration in Najaf is a prelude to a truly national uprising against the occupation which will eventually lead to the replacement of the puppet Maliki government with a government that demands that the US leave Iraq, whether by parliamentary manuvering after a no confidence vote, or by massive street demonstrations in Baghdad like those which ousted the Shah of Iran in 1979, or a combination of the two. This storm is gathering. When it will break, no one can know for certain. Perhaps it will break when and if the Maliki government dares to put the now drafted infamous oil agreement before Parliament, which allocates 3/4 of Iraq's oil to Chevron, Exxon-Mobil, British Petroleum, and Royal Dutch Shell. This outrageous piece of neo-colonialist plunder is inimical to the interests of all of the Iraqi people save the few US puppets who hope to personally profit from it and has been denounced by leaders of all Iraqi religious and ethnic groups, including Al-Sadr. Perhaps it will be sparked by an American and/or Israeli adventure into Iran. Or perhaps by the American plan to cordon Baghdad into over 30 administrative zones to be guarded by occupation troops with the issuance of new identity cards which Iraqis are to be required to show at checkpoints to move about their own great capital city. No matter. The massive demonstration in Najaf shows that the elements of a great storm of national resistance has gathered and it is only a matter of time before it breaks. Then what will Bush do? Will he finally admit the folly of neo-colonialist invasion and occupation he has visited on Iraq, or try to drown it in a sea of blood in the name of the "war on terror" while medaciously and slanderously blaming this uprising of national resistance to occupation on Iran, Syria, Al-Quida, or Iraqi "extremists?"

The Iraqi government put it's agreement about how to manage it's oil resources in place about 2 weeks ago. Mission accomplished, Bush went to Latin America. Halliburton announced it plans to move to Dubai. The violence merely justifies a continued US troop presence in the area to make sure all continues to go as planned. it is the ultimate in "governing" to special interests rather than the national one. here’s my time line: Bush was put into the presidency to accomplish one thing: change the regime in Iraq to one that would work in the US interests.
