"You and I had a very spirited discussion on these issues a year or so back. I suggest you take a look back and see how far you've moved since then. I think you've got further to go. I think it was more than a year ago but I remember that discussion. It was when I told you about the ideology of Moktada Al-Sadr, and what to expect from him and what could come of the clash of radical Shia with radical Sunni, and you suggested I was dreaming it all up. Most of the people here chided me for it and had a good laugh. It was my best guess but if you look back, you will see that I was right on target. "It's fine to be an idealist but when men and women are dying " Men and women have been dying since the dawn of creation. Some die of sad causes related to greed, glutony, lasciviousness, and just plain lazyness. Most call their deaths at the end of such a life natural. Some die after having lived a lucid life, based on principles of decency. It doesn't appear to be much different, death wise. Sometimes good people die an unnatural death because of some sacrifice made on principles of decency, but we don't usually think lesser of them for that. Maybe you disagree...
