Hey, the sad fact is that we need these guys on our side. The Sunnis are mad because we ended their centuries old monopoly on power in Iraq. We need the Kurds and Shi'ites. Besides, some celebrations of the Passion, particularly in the Phillipines, are about as gory.

A new pledge to the Fraternity of Death goes through one of their bizarre hazing rituals where they swing long knives above their heads while walking down a crowded street.

Me of course!

I'm married to a saint -- and somehow I just KNOW she would KNOW and strike me dead with a bolt of lightening....

She constantly reminded me that both the Marine Corps and she, expected TOTAL fidelity.....
