#2 There is another section of this article that is more promising. I don't think that the bombings are having quite the effect that the jihadis intended.

Police and U.S. military officers at the scene said the dead included four Iraqi policemen and a female neighbor who died in her home....the blast occurred at about 8:05 a.m. was caused by a "vehicle-borne improvised explosive device."...It was unclear whether the bomb was detonated by a suicide attacker.

Interior Minister Samir Shaker Mahmoud al-Sumeidi visited the site and was mobbed by distraught neighbors who screamed at him to "come and see what happened to our homes."

"God does not accept this," one man shouted.

"It would seem that the criminals do not want the law to prevail or the security men to implement it," he told reporters. "I want every honorable man in this country to condemn this crime."

#3 I've mentioned it before and I'll bring it up again:

Isn't there some way to prompt a massive release of CO2 or N2 that will nondestructively suffocate all occupants of these shrines? We need to evacuate the entire perimeter and release a oxygen deprivation cloud that will permanently pacify these sites. I'll once more go so far as to advocate holding the shrines hostage against a cessation of all further inssurection. No better message could be sent to Iran's Shiites as to just how thin the ice is that they are skating upon.

That Sadr remains mobile (not to mention breathing) remains a total mystery. This mutt should have experienced fast onset lead poisoning a long time ago.
