There's a lot of truth in this article.

The Moqtada is Iran's Man in Baghdad. He has to go, then we have to Fight.

I don't disagree with you. Moqtada will be dead. Iraq will stand.

I think that at this point our armed services personnel are in danger of becoming a Praetorian Guard of sorts. I heard a commentator on a conservative talk show today say that if we left today the leaders of Iraq would be have their throats slit, literally. Well if that is true then we have become nothing more than a highly paid foreign security force and I am not comfortable with that and I hope most others aren't either.

I agree with the writer. This article brings to mind one of my favorite movie lies. Kurt Russell in the Wyatt Earp movie is talking to one of the bad guys and tells him to go back to town and tell his buddies that he is coming to town and bringing hell with him. I think it is time we brought a little of that attitude to the people of Iraq. We are not going to win this war by winning the hearts and minds of a diverse ethnic, cultural and religious country by try to make nice. We need to clean house, put our people in power and leave no one around to challenge them. If we are not willing to do that, then we should support the Kurds in setting up their own country in the north of Iraq and adjoining areas of Iran and Turkey and leave the rest of the hell hole to whoever can take it.
