KARBALA, Iraq - More than one million Iraqis marched and beat themselves Thursday in blood-soaked processions through this holy city and other Shiite centers around the country to mourn the seventh century death of their revered martyr, Imam Hussein.

Swept by a thick yellow sandstorm, mass processions choked Karbala's wide streets as more than 8,000 security forces and additional militiamen prevented terrorist attacks that have rocked Ashoura ceremonies over the past two years, killing more than 230 people.

Karbala police chief Brig. Razzaq Abid Ali al-Taei said up to 2 million people either marched in drum banging and flag waving parades or watched as the teeming crowd moved by.

Al-Taei said the ceremony ended with no security violations, except for one rocket launched from an area west of Karbala that fell in a field six miles away.

"No one was hurt and some Iraqi suspects were arrested," he said.

1. When the bush crime family along with israel attacks Iran before

March 26 2006 and this monsterous crowd marches on the American military bases in Iraq, what will the bush crime family do?

2. If the Administration facilitated or created or...

...fell square on their miscalculating azz into this scenario, they'd just reach for the thing the world wouldn't be safe with the Iranians having...their nuclear arsenal.

(Which numbers into the thousands of warheads...complete with ICBMs...a little more advanced than the Iran nuke pretentions to perhaps 5-10 A-bombs in 5-10 years...and eventually after that, a rocket or two.)
