A Religion of Peace Moment
Brought to you by the State Department of the United States of America.
I just want to get this straight, because I am easily confused. Mookie Sadr, a purported Muslim imam, a verifiable psychotic and murderer, whose minions have killed American soldiers and Marines in heated battles since April, was allowed a pass? A gimmee? His boys and he were allowed to lay down their weapons and exit peacefully from the "Holiest Shrine In Shia Islam" compound they had turned into a trench warfare hellhole because al-Sistani arrived to broker a settlement?
What the fuck am I missing here?
Here's an alternate scenario for you: Jerry Falwell decides he doesn't like Bush's, or the Supreme Court's, take on partial-birth abortions. So he holes himself up in St. Patrick's Cathedral (he's not Catholic, but it doesn't matter to him, because as a Christian he feels he has the keys to any Christian kingdom), laden with weaponry. He kills 14 police officers and National Guardsmen who try to flush him out.
Query: does Jerry get a pass to leave unmolested, and regroup in Wyoming, where the next cache of weapons are?
We should have killed Sadr, and dragged him behind a Humvee like Hector. That is the only thing these people understand, and, more importantly, appreciate.
And don't start with your James Byrd shit. That man was guilty of nothing, except being black. Apples and oranges, Intrepids. Apples and oranges. Sometimes a GUILTY fucker NEEDS to be dragged behind a Toyota Land Cruiser to get the message out: this behaviour will not be tolerated.
UPDATE: we are in luck, people. Billy Graham is off his sickbed, and has issued a call to arms for all God-fearing Christians to take up arms against the unholy infidels that lay their mugs on rugs. He personally e-mailed me to make sure I not only torch that fucking 7-11 that Ibrahim is running, but that I enslave his "bitches".
Bill's words. Not mine. And the point still obtains: how does a man of the cloth, so to speak, a religious icon, like Sadr, manage to amass an army, a fucking ARMY, and not one western media site questions that? Billy Graham wants to know.
