Anti-US cleric al-Sadr threatens new uprising in Iraq

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080419/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

al Sadr is now threatening all out war against the Iraqi government "until liberation".
The main problem with this is that not only could the present Iraqi government fall, likely Al Sadr will have mostly Iranian weapons like he does now only more so. So this thing very easily could escalate in a war de facto between Iran and the U.S. It is possible that a war between Iran and NATO might be inevitable eventually, however, now is not the time with our army so worn down. If a war against Iran happened now Iran would be only a crater in the ground because of the state of our Army because of them fighting and dying since 2003.we already have 300,000 cases of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I think that might be close to the number of PTSD cases from the war in Viet Nam. I don't think it is in anyone's interests to see Iran a crater in the ground if for no reason but the price of oil. Imagine Iran's oil unpumpable because of radiation contamination and the loss of one more oil producer. This whole situation is just crazy!
