a visit to the shrine which "might not be around much longer"
Scott Baldauf and other journalists entered the Iman Ali Shrine in Najaf and spent some time with Iraqis on Thursday.
I was very moved by this article, and disturbed to learn that it's not just men in there but women and children as well. But we've already killed over 11,000 Iraqis in the name of freedom and democracy, so I suppose the people there are viewed as expendable.
