#1 Good. If they're on strike, they won't mind when the blockades go back up, right?

#3 Note: Iraqi Vice-President Tareq Al-Hashimi leads the Iraqi Islamic Party, the largest Sunni party in Iraq.

The Shia dink in charge calls off the blockade around the Shia militia stronghold - and the Sunni dink in charge objects.

Gee, go figure, huh?

#7 Anger at traffic jams and lost business had been growing inside Sadr City. Today militants loyal to cleric al-Sadr ordered a general strike, shutting down shops, offices and schools.

I wonder if they'll be as angry today.
