Here's some more of that force you so advocate. Why won't those Sunnis learn their lesson??? I guess the Shia will have to use more force......huh, steve. I guess burning people alive isn't enough force, huh steve.

Shiites burn six Sunni worshippers alive

By Qais Al-Bashir, Associated Press Writer | November 24, 2006

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, and several homes while killing an unknown number of Sunni residents in the once-mixed Hurriyah neighborhood of Baghdad.

Gunmen loyal to radical anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr began taking over the neighborhood this summer and most of its Sunni residents already had fled.
