Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sad has threatened to "declare a war" unless the Iraqi government stops its violent assaults against groups such as his Mehdi Army.

"I'm giving the last warning and words to the Iraqi government, they should take the road of peace and drop the violence that they use with their people. Otherwise, they will be like the destructive [Saddam Hussein] government."

Muqtada al-Sad's announcement comes at a time of elevated fighting between Iraqi security forces supported by US troops and Shi'ite factions inside Iraq. Is the situation in Iraq now a great deal worse than any of our politicians dare to let on?
