#1 US helicopters pounded an area near a Shi'ite mosque with heavy machine-gun fire, killing two militants just ahead of the start of weekly prayer services and outraging preachers loyal to radical Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

#2 The "outraging" needs to become "killing". Starting with Sadr hisself.

#3 outraging preachers loyal to radical Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

Good, Very Good, take names, make lists, pass out lists to assassins, pay them on results, problem solved. World intelligence rises several percent.

#5 I'm beginning to think the only solution to the "sadr" problem is to pull all US personnel out of Baghdad and carpet-bomb sadr-city. First, put up a few dozen minefields along all routes leading OUT of sadr-city. Let al-sadr feel the FULL wrath of the US. So far, we've fought this war totally on the pc level. I think going mideival just ONCE would be a huge wake-up for all the mme.

Which is what we should have done within hours of 9-11. On that fateful day, my immediate response was to suggest that Khandahar be blanket bombed as a demonstration of our displeasure. We might even have caught mullah Omar in the shitstorm. Regardless, Omar's birthplace and home turf would have ceased to exist.

We are dealing with people who respond only to violence. Therefore, Islam must be made to feel our pain. To do so will require that a large number of Muslims die. Not suffer, but perish outright. Once enough Muslims have died as a direct result of terrorist activities, they will begin to police themselves or continue to die in vast numbers. My bets are on jihadist imams getting their throats slit after just a few such demonstrations. Until we begin connecting the dots for those who refuse to comprehend Cause & Effect, it will only be more of the same shit.
