The bottom line is THE MAJORITY do not agree with the demonstrators.
Wrong.
The Shiites form 60% of the iraqui population.
And most of them only recognize one man as their leader - Ajatollah Hakim, who is in iranian exile and who wants to establish a theocraty system in Iraq.
The UK has seen this and tried to put a shiite religious puppet into power.
This man, the son of the famous iraqui Ajatollah Khoei and himself a religeous leader lived in british exile and agreed to collaborate with the USA/UK. He even met with Blair, before he was flown to Iraq.
But the plan failed. When he visited the holy shrine in Nadjaf he wasnt celebrated as a new and recognized leader but was attacked by the shiites who were angry that this Quisling dared to enter the mosque. He was killed despite the british escort.
When the US-general Garner hold up this ridiculous meeting in Iraq to consider who becomes next political leader in Iraq the shiites (the majority) was not represented.
Instead the USA favorizes criminals and corrupt people like Charasi (who has to fled from Jordan after he has been convicted to 22years jaiol for cheating).
So there is no wonder why the people - especially the shiites are demonstrating.
They must fear that again some corrupt sunnite arab puppets will be put to power and that they will be suppressed like it alsways was in the short history of Iraq.
