I think Iraq is about to completely fall apart

[mburbank]

But I thought the only thing that justified all of this chaos was the glory of the Iraqi free elections, and that those purple fingers meant it was better than Sadaam no matter what happened. Are you saying we should concider deposing tis govt. and reoccupy Iraq, or just wait and see if it falls apart?

However, I totally agree with you about Al Sadr or however one spells it. And, you might be surprised to hear from me, I favor killing him. He is a very, very bad apple and could only help us as an ally in the way various Middle East Strongmen have done before, ie. temporarily before becoming our next Hitler substitute. He is never going to be anything but trouble to us and he's the most visible front man in the 'kill all the sunnis' branch of shia. He's bad for us and he's bad for any possability of a unified Iraq.
