If al Sadr had been stopped in March of 2003 a lot of destruction and bloodshed could have been prevented. After he was not, he has continually called his Medhi army to fight, and when the going gets rough, he heads for Iran and calls for a cease fire. This has happened multiple times and is so blatently evident, why has he still not been stopped. Even if he were to be allowed into the new government, he would do nothing but cause dissent and would not stop until he was the new Iraqi 'dictator.'

And while our soldiers, fighting an invisible enemy, perhaps attempted to gain information through 'torture,' the al Qaeda continually appeared on national television, their faces covered while they beheaded American prisoners. And we Americans are supposed to stand by and 'play nice!' I don't think so!!
