This is utterly disgusting; the 'transitional' government is, with foreign aid and encouragement, going to slaughter the one force which has actually shown itself competent to rule the country. Unsurprisingly, the US is complicit in this. The success of the ICU government in uniting the country, putting an end to piracy, and re-establishing services such as the air and sea ports were no doubt an embarrasment to an administration which has shown itself incapable of doing any of those things in Iraq. The message is clear: the Muslim world has the choice between being ruled by Western puppets or living in a perpetual state of chaos. No dynamic, popular Islamic alternative will be allowed to take power.
