Cycle of Revenge Fuels a Pattern of Iraqi Killings
This is only one aspectof Iraqi to Iraqi violence. There's those fighting criminals, militia's and insurgents. The shiites are getting their weapons from outsiders, any guesses?
In a cycle that has been tracked by the American military since May and June, after months of apparently random sectarian violence the pattern has become one of attack and counterattack, with Sunni militants staging what commanders call "spectacular" strikes and Shiite militias retaliating with abductions and murders of Sunnis.
Militias come to funerals and offer to carry out revenge attacks. Gunmen execute blindfolded people in full public view. Mortars are lobbed between Sunni and Shiite neighborhoods. Sometimes the killers seem to be seeking specific people who were involved in earlier attacks, but many victims lose their lives simply to even out the sectarian toll.
"The problem is that every time there"s a sensational event, that starts the whole sectarian cycle again," said Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell IV, the chief spokesman for the American command in Iraq. "If we could stop the cyclical nature of this in Baghdad, we could really change the dynamics here."

Whatdaya mean we can't do any more? As long as there are muslims over there who want us dead (basically all of them), we can do more. More shooting, more bombing, more of everything.
Our government completely understands muslims. They also understand Americans and they know that they cannot say the truth. The truth that the so called Nation of islam wants you all dead, converted, or enslaved. That the only solution is to have it out with them. Americans don't want to hear this right now. It's obvious from how soon the anger subsided after 9-11. Not until it's almost too late will Americans finally stand up and say, O.K., kill'em all.
I can't believe how weak our country has gotten. A group of people attacks us on our soil, kill thousands, and it's not even the first time they've done it, and we don't really want to do anything?!? Capture the leader and charge him with a crime? Are you kidding me? That won't do **** and everyone knows it. Do Americans really think the the "Law and Oder" approach is gonna work in real life? We have to counter attack and totally obliterate our enemies. That's the one true way to peace.

If the military is "amazed" to learn of this, they are sadly ignorant of the history of Iraq and the region, and Islam in general.
The article doesn't indicate that the military is "amazed" to learn any of this. No one is amazed by any of this, other than the general amazement that, in the 21st century,these"humans" place so little value on the lives of themselves and others.
