I am usually a peaceful man. But to be blunt , these Islamofascists ( hotheads) need to be killed ( cleaned up).

Our nation has a hard time killing the enemy. But that is what is needed.

I am very very skeptical about US policies.
US killed many Sunni. Thats it. In other words : US helped the iranian backed militias. It does not sound a good idea to me.
US want to defeat Iran and at the same time are pounding Irans enemies , the Sunnis? I do not understand what is American strategy.
Probably there is a completely failed strategy.
US thinks it can take on .., the Shiites and the Sunnis but this is an illusion since 130 or 150 thousand man cant police Iraq and the US not prepared to loose dozens of men policying Iraqi towns.
Instead of allying itself with a failed Iranian backed government US should align itself with the very Sunni it is fighting now.

There are Sunni extremists including pro-Saddam and al-qaeda Sunnis. There are also pro-Iranian extremists in the Shia militias. Perhaps you haven't heard the truth that at times in the past we have fought and killed al Sadr's militia people, too. The U.S. is not in support of either side in this case. The U.S. is trying to support a moderate Government in Iraq which it hopes will not be run by either of these groups.

The problem is that the Government of Iraq US is supporting is not moderate. As everyone does know during Saddam Hanging the executioners shouted : Moqtada , Moqtada, Moqtada "- Refering to muqtada Al Sadr, The fellow Iran is helping. US has not enought troops to take on : 1- The Iraqi Shia Police. 2- The Sunni Saddamists. 3 - Al Qaeda. In Iraq there is no law, there are Sunnis against Shias. The US strategy is to take on Sunni and Shia but such strategy is doomed to fail since US does not have enought troops to fulfill the task. Being so US should either ally itself with sunni and kurds...,against Iran. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. US disregard that truth and placed in power in Iraq Iran friends and now US is striking sunni. When it comes to the rule of law in Iraq it is just nonexistant. Sunni are dragged out of their beds and shot in Baghdad hospitas run by Sadr Militias.This was reported by american journalists. Midle east is divided between shia and suni and us has been helping the wrong guys(Iran Shias). The iraqi police trained by US that was suposed to enforce law actually got infiltrated by moqtada al sadr and shia militias and now does shot sunni civilians in a daily basis..

Excuse me. The Middle East (and Iraq) is divided between Shia and Sunni Extremists and Shia and Sunni Moderates (plus the Kurds).

The Government of Iraq is a coalition. There are both moderate and extremist elements in it.

And you know full well that the Sunnis are riddled through and through with Saddam supporters and al-qaeda. We are probably doing the best we can by not wanting to battle on the side of either Sunni or Shia, unless they are moderates.

It is not our fault the area is so muddled and confused and violent. It has always been that way. Even when Saddam had tight control, he did so by murdering hundreds of thousands of people.

I tell you what, you find a website where you can get lots of agreement by bashing the US policy as being at fault for what is going on in Iraq and the Middle East, and you'll be happier. And I am one person who would be glad to see you go there.
