Popular uprising in Basra?

Possible interesting developments in South Iraq today

Sky News has just claimed that a popular uprising has started in Basra. The info came from British army sources. Now before you start shouting I know Sky are propaganda spouting, pro-imperialist wankers and that the British Army are murdering bastards but if its true then its a very interesting story. The Brits are attacking Basra at the moment and the Shia people seem to be taking advantage of this to get rid of the Baath scum. Another story doing the rounds is that British soldiers have moved to the eastern side of Basra close to the Iranian border. I'm only guessing but this could be to stop Iraqi Shia groups (including armed militias) based in Iran (and friendly to the Iranian government) from crossing over the border. It may be the first step in stopping the Shia people (60% of the total Iraqi population) from taking over, which they undoubtedly would if free democratic elections were held. How do anti-war people feel about these developments, I think we should support all efforts of the Iraqi people to remove oppression, whether its Saddam, a US puppet government or any other exploiters
