Two news items seen on the same webpage, providing an interesting juxtaposition:

First,
radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called for three days of mourning to mark the destruction of the minarets, according to a statement.

"...the only enemy of Iraq is the occupation and therefore everyone must demand its departure or a timetable of its occupation."
Thus Mookie speaks, and his loyal minions quickly respond:

Democrats: representing the will of the enemy.

Whose side are they on?
