7. Ambassador: Shia militias becoming like Hezbollah in Lebanon

Talking about the Shia militias blamed for many killings, Mr Patey added: "If we are to avoid a descent into civil war and anarchy then preventing the Jaish al-Mahdi (the Mahdi Army) from developing into a state within a state, as Hezbollah has done in Lebanon, will be a priority."

Those that supported Bush's drive toward war in Iraq, should be very pleased with the consequences to the US, the UK, and Israel of their folly.

Why do we listen to them when they advocate war against Iran and Syria?
