On Errantry

In case anyone hasn't heard, the islamofascist assholes led by al-Sadr executed 12 Nepalis in Iraq recently.

NOT SMART.

I've never really thought of Nepal as a very warlike country, but apparently they field some ass-kickers on a caliber with just about anybody in the world- and they're royally pissed, as evidenced by letters to mypetjawa found here. These guys are some of the best in the world, and frankly I'm inclined to join the consensus in raising money for airline tickets to Iraq.

Can somebody explain to me what the hell is going on with al-Sadr? I don't understand. Killing innocent civilians won't make us withdraw our troops sooner- if anything, it only demonstrates our need to stay in so that the entire country doesn't rip itself apart into little factions ruled by warlords (then again, maybe that's what they want).
