Iraq - Iraqis stand up for themselves

The brave Iraqi people are standing up to terrorists and world leaders who want Iraq to descend into a civil war.

But the result is that the Iraqi people are banding together in a show of growing unity.

Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq addresses a gathering of Iraqi Shiites who were protesting Friday's suicide bombing of a mosque Saturday April 8, 2006 in Baghdad, Iraq. Hakim said, that he would not be deterred from the political process by violence and that 'Our people will not be drawn into the trap of civil war.'

Meanwhile...

Iraqi leaders have strongly criticised Egypt's president after he said Iraq was on the verge of a civil war.
