somewhere on the internet about a week ago I read about an Iraqi that was starting an underground movement to fight for Iraqi freedom from terrorist. He said to watch the news for their action. I think this may be it.
Second Sunni cleric gunned down in Iraq
BAQOUBA, Iraq (AP) — Masked gunmen on Tuesday assassinated a Sunni cleric north of Baghdad, police said — the second such killing in as many days.
Sheik Ghalib Ali al-Zuhairi was a member of the Association of Muslim Scholars, an influential Sunni clerics group that has spoken out against nationwide elections to be held Jan. 30.

I'd like to think that it's a sign that the Iraqi people don't wish to live with Radical Islam and want the oppurtunity an American style Democracy provides. But it's too soon to tell.

actually I have heard that it is the foreign terrorists who are gunning down these clerics because they are not happy that they are not embracing the insurgency as they would have hoped. They are trying th scare the rest of them into complying. The insurgents are hurting right now. they are losing. They cant poke their heads above ground right now without an AC-130 Spectre Gunship blowing it off. They are masacring Iraqi civilians and leaving them on the streets as warnings to the rest of the iraqis not to colaborate with the Americans. Its funny that when the big libs start throwing around huge numbers of Iraqi dead they conviently forget to mention the terrorists who kill 90% of them. its better for their cause if we are to believe it is the who are Americans killing civilians for fun and pleasure. come to think of it, it is better for the cause of the insurgents to if we and he rest of the world think that too. once again the libs will be on the wrong side when the hammer comes down. poor bastards.
