I tend to agree. But disarming all, or even most, Iraqis would lead to a blood-bath I doubt Americans could stomach. I think Bush is on the right track, we need to get a majority of Iraqis behind their new government and then leave. Without "the Great Satan" to rally his people around, this young fire-brand (Sadr) will have much less clout. Besides, I'm pretty sure he's an Iranian ally and as they fall so shall he.

"... would lead to a blood-bath I doubt Americans could stomach...." Will Americans more easily stomach a blood bath that involves only Americans?
President Bush initiated a preemptive war to prevent large numbers of Americas being killed...
I have yet to see large number of Arab lunatics killed...
How does THAT work?
Americans stomachs held together when we slaughtered entire cities of Germans and Japanese...
I suspect that most Americans would do as well at the sight of large numbers of lunatic Islamic militants being whacked...
Those with weak stomachs, will simply have to curl into the fetal position - while others do their fighting for them -- AGAIN!

I agree that he may be an Iranian ally. I'm not so sure your 'after the US leave' assessment is dead on. Any government installed by the US will be destroyed as soon as we leave, if it's radical subjects are left armed to the teeth. At least that's my take.
Thanks for the comments.
