I Thought That The Only Thing “Those People” Understood Was Force
The extremists understand only the language of power, and any reluctance or softness on the part of the Iraqi or U.S. government would only embolden them. In this way the clearly voiced commitment of President Bush and Prime Minister Maliki was exactly the type of strong message that needed to be sent. ~Omar and Mohammed Fadhil
Apparently they also understand forceful language. All we need to do is give them (“the extremists”) a stern talking-to, and everything could be straightened out. That’s good to know. It couldn’t be that with the Shi’ite militias going to ground (proof that the “surge” is “working”) we would see a replay of the rampant anti-Shi’ite carnage of 2003-2004 that originally caused these militias to begin carrying out revenge and sectarian killings, could it? No, obviously not.
