Mahdi Army will continue ceasefire
Moqtada Al-Sadr has extended the six month ceasefire that his militia has been observing. This has greatly helped curb the violence in Iraq and another six months of relative peace would be great for all those involved in Iraq. I dont see how the Sunnis and Shiites will get along after U.S. troops leave, especially since the Americans have been arming Sunni militias. I just hope the Kurds will get through this whole thing ok. In fact, the only thing the Kurds really have to worry about now are the Turks. The Kurds now have an effective military( The Peshmerga) and I think they could defend themselves from a Turkish invasion pretty easily. Anyway, hopefully the Mahdi amry will help re-build Iraq into the once prosperous country that it was.
