Iraqi PM stoned by crowd
by Hanlon on November 26, 2006 at 2:58 pmThings are getting worse. Or, if not worse, more obvious. Iraqi’s PM Nuri Al-Maliki decided to pay his respects to the area where over 200 were killed last week, where crowds pelted his motorcade with stones.
The anger in Sadr City, stronghold of the Medhi Army Shi’ite militia, boiled over on the third day of a curfew imposed on the capital by Nuri al-Maliki’s U.S.-backed national unity coalition as it scrambled desperately to stop popular passions exploding into all-out civil war between Shi’ites and the Sunni minority.
“It’s all your fault!” one man shouted as, in unprecedented scenes, a crowd began to surge around Maliki. Men and youths then jeered and jostled as his armored convoy edged through the throng away from a mourning ceremony for one of the 202 victims of Thursday’s multiple car bomb attack in Sadr City.
More curfews, more deaths, more violence. I am genuinely depressed.

It seems like everyone who deals with El Shrubbo is getting stoned these days, like Babs and Jenna down in Argentina last week…
