Are You Sure About That?

From an AP news story on the car bombing that killed 75 at a mosque in Iraq:

Along with last week's deadly bombing at the U.N.'s Baghdad headquarters, Friday's attack seems certain to undermine stability in Iraq and make it even more difficult for the Americans to maintain security.

Later in the same story we read:

In Sadr City, about 1,000 al-Hakim followers demonstrated in front of the Supreme Council of Islamic Revolution headquarters. Some sat weeping on the ground; others shouted for revenge.

"We will not forget our Ayatollah Baqir al-Hakim!" they chanted. One protester fired a pistol in the air and urged the crowd to search for the Saddam backers and foreign fighters that he claimed were responsible.


Call me crazy but having more Iraqis on our side helping us find those responsible would seem to actually make it EASIER for us to maintain security. Of course I'm not an expert reporter either.
