BASRA POPULAR UPRISING UNDERWAY

It started out as a good news report, but Sky News is now reporting Iraqi forces are using superior firepower and beginning to kill the hungry and thirsty civilians. British troops are trying to take out Saddam's Baath Party irregulars who are firing mortars at the people, but they supposedly can't go in full force for 8 more hours due to the chaos in the dark. These are the same civilians we let down after the last Gulf War. I hope to God we can find a way to support them fast. Tommy Franks may need to jump on this ASAP with some special forces.

UPDATE: A contributor to NRO is apparently leading the anti-Saddam revolt.

For pete’s sake, let’s not support shiite muslims too fast. Aren’t they typically more radical than Sunni?

The Shia / Sunni difference is not as simple as it was portrayed, eg, during the Khomeini revolution. Most of Iran is Shia, but the Persians (the upper class) are more secular, while the Arabs (the lower class) are radical. The differences within Islam really have more to do with culture and class than with the denominations.

As long as they’re killing off the Fedayeen in the next 24 hours, I’m happy. We can deal with the other issues later.
