Bluesman you are a better and more forgiving man than me. I would have to know which members of his clan got themselves KIAed. I can think of a few of the women and "children" in his family that I wouldn't mind seeing dead. They are just as involved in the horrors of Iraq.

If they're past the age of accountability...you may fire when ready, Mr. Gridley.

But KIDs, actual minors that had no part in what was done by their awful tribe or clan...nah.

Now, them two nephews - adults, mind you - I'd do 'em both myself, eat a big dinner, and sleep like a baby. They're human animals, and they're the kind o' guys that WOULD shoot kids.

And you're right - there are some women in the family that deserve it, too. They are at least as savage as their men, and if we ever catch 'em...

With statements like these its no wonder Iraq is full of violence. Whether the relatives were involved in past crimes or not is moot. The Shiites won, they have the power now in Iraq. For them to use their position (granted to them at the expense of American blood and treasure) to further the cycle of violence is not only tragic but criminal.

The terrorists and criminals currently in power there have no excuse, other than the fact they are terrorists and criminals. For Americans or others, who should know better, to revel in this bloodlust is absolutely sickening.

If you think that his family is innocent you are wrong. Saddam's family is actively involved in the insurgency.

Exactly, G. They are as blood-soaked as their old patron, and they deserve the same thing.

But Herodotus believes he knows something about it. He doesn't. Whether the relatives of Saddam were involved in crimes (they were, and this is not disputed by ANYbody even passingly familiar with the subject) is NOT moot AT ALL, but of the first importance and VERY relevant.

And Shiites do NOT have the power because we granted it to them. They VOTED and ORGANIZED for it, and if anybody bothered to pay any attention, they'd see that, even though the Sunnis screwed up and followed some really bad advice from their old leaders and sat out the elections, the Shiites actually gave the Sunnis a MUCH better deal than they ever earned, which speaks to the state of reconciliation and rapproachment that I bet ole Herodotus won't acknowledge.

And to revel in JUSTICE - which is what I'm talking about here - is not sickening, so much as it is uplifting. Kids? Nah, leave 'em be. But Saddam's crew of thugs and murderers gettin' scwhacked? I'm all for it, and I'd help do it, and feel like I'd done a good days' work, too.

If they are involved in past crimes then they can be brought to justice via the rule of law...you know what we are (purportedly) trying to establish in Iraq, and a jury of their peers can establish thir guilt.

And Shiites do NOT have the power because we granted it to them. They VOTED and ORGANIZED for it, and if anybody bothered to pay any attention, they'd see that, even though the Sunnis screwed up and followed some really bad advice from their old leaders and sat out the elections, the Shiites actually gave the Sunnis a MUCH better deal than they ever earned, which speaks to the state of reconciliation and rapproachment that I bet ole Herodotus won't acknowledge.

Yes SCIRI and DAWA were full of reconcillation and rapproachment when they were backed by Iran. and fought the Sunnis for 20 years. All that reconcilation must be why there are 2 million Sunnis in Syria...they feel reconciled.

And to revel in JUSTICE - which is what I'm talking about here - is not sickening, so much as it is uplifting. Kids? Nah, leave 'em be. But Saddam's crew of thugs and murderers gettin' scwhacked? I'm all for it, and I'd help do it, and feel like I'd done a good days' work, too.

Revel in JUSTICE yes...but not mindless vigiliantism. You're "all for" this kind of justice and then don't ask why the Sunnis are fearful/resentful of the occupation; or maybe you do and don't see the connection, or don't care.
