should the us army attack the anti American cleric AL Sadr?

I think Al Sadr is only one of many clerics who are indeed anti-American. \nI believe that direct attacks on the Muslim religious leaders would be a bad idea if we are to ever bring any kind of stability to this region. \n\nFor instance, despite the rantings and ravings of Ahmadinejad, the real power in Iran now lies mostly with the Shiite clergy and their supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. \nWe know this is a country that supports Islamic Jihad, The Revolutionary Guard, Hezbollah, Humas and other terrorist factions throughout the region.\n\nThe followers of these hard liner, fanatical Islamic leaders may well be the total downfall of the contention that Islam is indeed a "peaceful and tolerant" religion. \n\nWe are constantly being told that is is a small minority of Muslims who subscribe to the radicals' objectives and demands. Everyday, this rhetoric gets harder and harder to accept.\n\nPresently, Iraq is the center of our war on terror. The Iraqi people will ultimately be the ones to choose their destiny and show their true colors. We have given this country the opportunity to install a government that answers to the people - a government that grants rights and freedoms to all - we can only wait and see which side they choose.

The Janjaweed should be wiped out or tried at the International Court in the Hague, and probably executed. We should go for, as the Bush administration likes to call, "regime change" in the Sudan and "pre-emptive strike" against the hateful people that rise in the highest rank of the Sudanese  government. But, it is not in the US interests to get involved. I wish we would learn the lesson of other genocides. Why don't we act on morality in our foreign policy?

They won't stop. They feel it furthers their cause when they kill the infidels, as the american soldiers are called. The people in Iraq killing soldiers are theones who were loyal to Saddam and the ones who have an extreme hatred for the USA. The ones who are loyal to Saddam want things to go back to way they were when they had free run of the country and Saddam was lining their pockets with millions of dollars, the ones who hate the USA are coming in from other countries and fighting because they feel we are against muslims. Funny how we have muslims in the US who are free to practice their religion freely and peacefully. No matter what may happen there will always be people who practice their religion to the extreme edges of what is written.

Yes, a very valuable lesson, kill every Islamic Extremist before he kills you. They can't be reasoned with, they can't be placated, and we can't worry what other policy of the United States may offend these Extremists. The lesson is we need to exterminate every Islamic Extremist who threatens the United States...Looks like your question was right-on//////

You are so far off the mark that even though I am against having our military in Iraq, it would be better for my side if you didn't express an opinion.\n\nReally.\n\nAnyway, the short answer is that Iraqis aren't attacking Americans.  Many of the insurgency are fighters from various other countries including Syria and Iran, as well as Palestinians.

I SALUTE ARMSTRONG1978 AND TOTALLY 100% AGREE WITH HIM.\nKilling people,not letting them decide what they want for themselves and destroying their holy places this is the sacrifice which the US is giving for Iraq.You are (as all US citizens find easy to do) wasting your focusing on a one-sided story.I would advise you that if you really want to see the truth then instead of criticizing the muslims go to iraq and see for yourself what REALLY is happening and who is the one the iraq people are really irritated with.

No matter which side you are on - there is a problem with militant muslims.  It started in 1983, and just grew.  The 1993 WTC bombings should've a wake up call for all americans.  We went to Afghanistan & Iraq to defend ourselves because terrorist don't have homeland.  I don't like seeing our troops, ally troops, or iraqis dying, but I'd rather have the battle fought on their land not ours.  911 was the worst attack on our soil ever.

This may apply to you.\n\nJust look at your post where you got basic factual information wrong regarding Al Quaeda and the US and Iran.

There is no such thing as a "civilian Al Queda". Anyone who proudly identifies themself as a member of an organization whose mission is to take over the world with brute force and terror, is an enemy of all humans. If I thought I had Bin Laden in the crosshairs of a Hellfire missile, I would launch. It would be nice to capture him alive, but dead is good, too.

We were attacked 10 times and every time it was by radical Muslims, what should we do? Even now one of the leaders has declared he wants to kill 4 million Americans with 1 million being children. I know not all Muslims think this way but we have a right and a duty to protect ourselves from those who do want to hurt us.

Sadam's Obviously. He had his nation under control regardless of his methods.Less people died.The American invasion has resulted in the deaths of more people than any weapon of mass destruction used by Sadam...ever!

these are rfanatical adical leftist muslims and they should be subjected to firing squad. they do not have mind of their own they acted on the teachings and advise of their religous advisors. A hunt should be made for their religous advisors and be put into damnation. You release one of them and believe me you wil be sorry for revenge is always on their blood.

I believe they are behind much of it, yes. Usama Bin Laden made the statement years ago that the US does not have the stomach for this fight. If certain domestic factions have their way, he will be proven right.
