What Muqtada al-Sadr really should tell the Iraqis

I heard this on NPR tonight and got this from CNN:
:::On Sunday, al-Sadr called on his followers to stop killing Iraqi forces and focus instead on resisting Americans.
"You, the Iraqi army and police forces, do not walk alongside the occupiers because they are your enemy," the statement said. "I am here to advise you the honest resister hope for two things from God: either victory or martyrdom. But at the same time, the honest resister should not kill a fellow Iraqi.":::

So, don't kill Iraqis, kill Americans. Good plan, Muqtada.

Why don't you say this instead?

You, the Iraqi army, police forces, and everyone else in this country, let's get our collective camel dung together and take the initiative. Let's govern ourselves so the Americans will realize while we probably won't ever be a democracy, we'll be a stable, productive country and be able to withstand influences of Iran and Syria. I'm sure the Americans don't want to be in this country any longer than they have to so let's give it an old Arab try and act like a real country instead of bludgeoning each other to death. Let's show even the Americans how we, the Iraqis, can live with our differences and be at peace with that.

Wouldn't life be grand? Buzzzzzzzzzz
