When are we going to smoke this al Sadr guy. He and his militia were behind countless deaths in March and April. I can't believe we'd negotiate a 2nd time with a guy who already burned us (and thus our kids) twice - that's stupid. The other issue I have is the concern we're showing for this "important Shrine." My feeling is it cuts both ways. If that shrine is SO IMPORTANT TO THEIR RELIGION (and I believe them when they say it is) then I'd say it's both bold and sacrilegious for Sadr and his men to use it as a stronghold to store weapons. To me that says they aren't too concerned about their "shrine" or else they wouldn't jeopardize it in the way they are. We (Americans - Republicans and democrats alike) cannot afford to let this guy get away. He's being funded by Iran just to create unrest. That unrest cost us hundreds of lives.
