VACATIONS

     Vacations in the sun and surf have a very good way of restoring persective to a badly distorted world, and even a lot of badly played golf shots do not affect that sense of balance. While in Hawaii I read about a truly horrifying incident where a suicide bomber killed 400 Iraqi Shiites attending a funeral of other Shiites who had been killed by Sunni terrorist suicide bombers a few days earlier. While pondering over a matter of such contempt and disgust, I read another article in which several of our bleeding heart liberals affirm that we should seek and find ways to “negotiate” with the terrorists, and also find ways to include the Sunni terrorists in the new Iraqi government.

     Can you imagine the reaction in the USA if 400 bereaved  friends and relatives were blown to shreds at a funeral of other relatives and friends. Is there anything lower on the scale of human behavior? But of course, if we capture some of these religious raghead fanatics we must observe the Geneva Convention and provide them with lawyers. And of course, we have to court martial our soldiers who treat them impolitely. Yeah, sure.

     Goeorge and Rummy have it right. Find them and kill them. A bullet between the eyes is about the right sentence. No prisoners and no questions. And tell the liberal left wing American do-gooders to stuff it. So far, the Shiites have been very patient, but that patience can last just so long. Until the Sunni leaders point the finger at the terrorists, many Iraqi people will not relax in peace. And if the Sunnis do not point the finger at the killers there will be very tough days ahead. Iraqi Sunni leaders may rue the day when they had a chance to make a big difference. If I were in the Shiite camp, I'd give the Sunnis 3-4 months. After that, the gloves come off.

     In the meantime, we are captivated by the death sentence for Scott Peterson and whether Sammy Sosa used steroids. Gotta stay with the big stories!
