@Ma_Mooli

/\ thats where you are wrong though. Most religious Shias and their leadership did not support the iraqi invasion, nor did they accept arms to fight saddam, when offered by the west. See the difference
Both saddam and west were from zalimoon, neither had iraqi interest at heart, and it was the innocent average iraqi that would pay the price.
See the difference in the thought process? Its called a moral backbone and self respect.. Something the sunni leadership direly needs to get asap.

Sister** Ma Mooli **- that’s not true

There were enough religious Shias some with strong pedigree who co-operated with the invading forces to give legitimacy to the occupation.

Ibrahim al-Jaafari Islamic Dawa Party.

He was previously one of the two Vice Presidents of Iraq under the Iraqi Interim Government from 2004 to 2005, and he was the main spokesman for the Islamic Dawa Party.

Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim**

Al-Hakim returned to Iraq on 12 May 2003 following the overthrow of Hussein’s regime by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.[2] There he emerged as one of the most influential Iraqi leaders, with his longtime opposition to Hussein gaining him immense credibility, especially among the majority Shia population.

Initially he was very critical of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, saying “we do not put confidence in the Americans, they have always acted against the interests of the Iraqi people” and urging Iraqis not to follow the US administration’s dictates. However, he did give the US credit for overthrowing the Ba’athist government, and through the summer of 2003 indicated some willingness to work with the Americans in setting up a civilian government in Iraq. Al-Hakim’s brother and fellow Muslim leader, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, was appointed to the Iraq interim governing council and the two worked closely together. By the time of his death, he remained distrustful, but urged Iraqis to abandon violence, at least for the time being, and give the interim government a chance to earn their trust.

Hasan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanese Shia resistance group Hizbollah issued an emotional statement regarding the death of Abdul-Aziz Al-Hakim. The statement spoke of the “struggle” of Al-Hakim to “rescue” and “uplift the Iraqi people.” This drew criticism and calls of sectarianism from political commentator Asad Abukhalil due to the role of Abdul Aziz Al Hakim in the US occupation of Iraq.

Then you had enough of ‘secular’ Shias outdoing each other to be the lackeys of the West – and did serve them well even if it was against the interests of Iraq and its honour!
