"There are plenty of bad guys (extremists) out there dude in each of your selective camps. Among the Shi'ites, I pick Moktada Al-Sadr as a worthy adversary. Serve him or fight him are the only options he offers ... which option do you think we should select?"

Democrats choice appears to be serve him.

1. You don't 'know' you only have an opinion. If you 'know' then cite your sources.
2. al-Sadr's group is elected and is part of the government.
3. al-Sadr's group also keeps Maliki in power.
4. People keep saying that there is no military solution, only a political solution. Given that al-Sadr has gone underground for fear of assassination, I'd say that's only partially correct.
5. The Bushies have just sent another brigade of non-Arabic speaking Kurds into Baghdad. That's the most interesting thing they've done in awhile.
