Iraqi leaders, including grand Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Sayed Ali al-Sistani called Monday for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon while women and children demonstrated against the Zionist regime in a Baghdad Shiite neighborhood.It is interesting to see the Iranian press quoting Sistani, who is likely to be seen as the spiritual leader of any future pro-US government established in Iraq.
"The international community should put forward an initiative for an immediate ceasefire and an end to this horrible tragedy," said a statement from Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in Najaf.
"This aggression has reached an unbearable level and patience has run out -- it is no longer possible to stand by with hands tied," Sistani added.
