HILLAH, Iraq –

Thousands of mostly black-clad Iraqis protested Tuesday outside a
medical clinic where a suicide car bomber killed 125 people a day
earlier, braving the threat of another attack as they waved clenched
fists, condemned foreign fighters and chanted "No to terrorism!"

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s terror group,
which has repeatedly seized foreigners and attacked Americans,
purportedly claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in Hillah.
It was not possible to independently verify the claim, which was posted
on the Internet.

But anxieties over another attack did not
prevent more than 2,000 people from gathering outside the clinic
Tuesday, shouting "No to terrorism!" and "No to Baathism and
Wahhabism!" and demanding the resignation of interim Prime Minister
Ayad Allawi.

Wahhabism was a clear reference to
foreign fighters who are supporters of al-Qaida and adherents of the
strict Wahhabi form of Islam, which is the version practiced in Saudi
Arabia. The Jordanian-born Zarqawi, the country’s most feared
terrorist, claims to be affiliated with Osama bin Laden’s organization.

So, they are saying "NO" quite loudly to people who live soley to get their way through death, destruction, terror, and violence. What will it take for the Democrats to get it? And not for a few months, like after 9/11, but for the long term? I shudder to consider the possibilities that will get them off their asses and put the blame where it belongs, on the terrorists, not the USA, and to stand up for our way of life.
