BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Shiite militiamen grabbed six Sunnis as they left Friday worship services, doused them with kerosene and burned them alive near Iraqi soldiers who did not intervene, police Capt. Jamil Hussein said.

The savage revenge attack for Thursday's slaying of 215 people in the Shiite Sadr City slum occurred as members of the Mahdi Army militia burned four mosques...

Anybody think that we can put a government back together again?

Anyone still think we could put a government together in the first place?

Muslims don't harm muslims unless of course they are not the right muslims.. Planet of the apes mentality (updated)..

"Is it something in the water over there or something in the genes?"

Having read Paul Fregosi's "Jihad In The West" and Dore Gold's
"Hatred's Kingdom", the only thing more amazing than the millions of
"infidels" slaughtered by Muslims throughout history...
are the numbers killed in Muslim-on-Muslim butchery.

One need only look at Darfur (Sudan) to see what a world ruled by Muslims
would look like:
First-class Muslims (Arabs in the case of Darfur) raping, exploiting,
and butchering second-class Muslims (the black African Muslims).

I hate innocents being killed...but Darfur should be Exhibit A
if Islam was put on trial as a War-Crime ideology.

"Lets help the Kurds set up an independent country,
provide them with enough arms to defend themselves
and lets get the F... out of Iraq."

Best advice Bush could ever get, but like LBJ
he will not admit he is wrong.

Letting our enemies blow each other to kingdom come
seems like a no-brainer,
but I guess some people have no brains.

[mcshot]

I too have been thinking along these lines.

Governments, like businesses, fail all of the time. The relevant questions are: Do we align with the Iranian/Syrian backed Shia? Or the AQ backed Sunni?

Nasty decision. But it must be made. All indications are that the US will wind up letting Mookie continue to have his way. Nobody "won" the Iraq war, even though our military did their best.

Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

I am for the three state solution right now. Let's withdraw to Kurdistan, protect the Kurds from the Shia and the Sunni and the Turks for that matter. Seal the border with Turkey so they can't try to claim Turkish land too.

Let's give the Shia three weeks warning that we are going to level Sadr city and other Shia neighborhoods to the ground and for them to move down South. Give Baghdad to the Sunni and the area around Tikrit, seal the border with Kuwait with troops there, and call it a war. Screw them.

The Americans have given the gift of Democracy to over 20 million people in Iraq and we must help the Iraqis through the growing pains of their emerging democracy. In order to help the Iraqis we must stay the course and support President Bush.

Whoever had the stupid idea that the people in that area of the world could ever possibly live in peace, reject barbarism and accept democracy?

[LadyNavyVet]

I read the article and about gagged when they said that things might not work out in Iraq, EVEN WITH THE HELP OF SYRIA AND IRAN.

What alternate reality are the Time writers living in? Note to Time: The Iranians and Syrians do not want to help us in Iraq. They've never wanted to help us in Iraq. They never will want to help us in Iraq. They want to carve up Iraq for themselves. Time writers, Syria and Iran are not our friends. Got it?

[SE Mom]

BINGO!

Alot of these soldiers are Shia or Sunni first, not Iraqi first. They aren't going to stop sectarian violence unless it's occuring against their group.

"How are we supposed to democratize savages? I'm beginning to think that freedom isn't the natural yearning of every human heart."

You are mostly correct, but wrong on one thing, I believe. It's also the only thing that Limbaugh gets wrong all the time. It goes like this. Somebody says "These animals CAN'T HANDLE freedom." at which time Limbaugh gives a 20 minute speech about the yearning of the human spirit and the human soul and how the speaker is a bigot and "the human soul yearns for freedom, and if you don't believe that, you're a bigot." But, of course, the 1st guy NEVER said they don't WANT freedom, only that they CAN'T HANDLE it. EVERYBODY wants freedom, problem is, a great many people get freedom and the 1st thing they do with it is kill everybody who is not like them. Saddam wanted freedom and was indeed a free man. He loved freedom. Wasn't very civil about handling it, though. But you are correct -- these sub-human, savage animals can't handle freedom.

George W. Bush will be seen as the the Liberator and Father of Iraqi Democracy and the people of Iraq and the Middle East will be granted the greatest gift in the history of mankind.

Massive amounts of lithium in the water there could only help.
Genetically they are inbred, and mental defects explain their acceptance of-
Psychopathic Islam.
THE problem. Wherever it is.
Historically-and forever-evil.

"Is it something in the water over there or something in the genes?"

Neither. It's their Islamic middle eastern culture. Arabs are tribal. As long as there is an absolute leader who crushes any opposition, there is peace. If there is no such leader, as now, they fight and kill each other until such a time as a new leader emerges. They have been killing each other like this for centuries. It's their way.

It was stupid for us to think they could live in a peaceful civilized democratic republic. They can't.

[Rush4U]

yup, going great.

I'm beginning to think that freedom isn't the natural yearning of every human heart.

I do not believe that freedom is valued by the vast majority. Even in this country.

Many pay lip service, but almost none are willing to leave others alone.
