"So to answer your question, when you bring about normalcy to Iraq, there will be no effective Mahdism to worry about... Not bad. That is one of the few hopeful remarks, I've ever seen you produce. My hopes are close to that. (I wont tell your buddies on you) If we see them develop stability that affords liberty and autonomy to citizenry, and an economy that causes more friendliness in the global community, we could see some real retreating from radicalism as well. I'm not sure you are correct about the future of Madism, even if we can get stability in Iraq. But the idea has potential.

I've heard plenty of Israeli settlers sound every bit as wacko as anyone you'd meet quoting different passages and they were well armed. I also have similar, though not as extreme quotes from various current Israeli web sites and magazines. Yep.. and when they attempt to commit suicide bombings, or blow of synagogues or the Al-Aqsa mosque, they should be harshly dealt with by the Israeli government and strongly condemned. And when they target American forces, they should be killed. So what's your point? Do you think I show favoritism for any form of armed private militia that exists? We have militias in the US. Hell, the National Guard is a militia. But when they threaten the government of the nation, they must be disbanded. However, GOING BACK TO MY POINT, what conditions are going to be necessary for the Jaysh Al-Mahdi forces to be disbanded?? I really would enjoy your insight on this matter.. Because I see it as a very serious issue.. As much so as Al Qai'da. Hawk
