Part 1 was more of an armchair military overview. In part II, Omar, from ITM, gives an Iraqi citizen's look into the people and culture which shaped this latest violence brought on by Iran's proxy army in Southern Iraq - Sadr's mahdi militia.
Another important dimension in this confrontation, largely ignored, regards Sadr’s rhetoric about security situation in Basra. The anti-Multinational Force powers always blamed British troops for insecurity in the province prior to their withdrawal.
Now it must be asked in a loud clear voice - who’s responsible for insecurity now that British troops are gone?
