#1 Shia mosques keep getting blown up, but Tater's Shia mosque doesn't. Bad and good - while it would be great to be rid of him, it would certainly result in widespread riots etc. His demise needs to look like the result of a tooth infection or maybe a heart attack. You'd think in the 45 years since they tried it on Castro the CIA would have figured out how to do it, but no.

#2 could these constant attacks on Shias make a strike against Iran harder?

Iraqi shias won't like seeing their Iranian brethren invaded and may use it as anti-US propaganda. Or the Sunnies may manipulate it.

#3 that many feel will push the country close to a full-scale communal conflict

HEY!! This guy changed his macro!! Can he do that? I thought they were only allowed to use "on the brink of civil war" and "torn by sectarian strife".

What next? Hmm? A tinderbox ready to explode??? Jeesh, will we now have to endure full paragraphs of imagery and sound effects, instead of concise macros to inform us that they are "on the brink of a civil war"??
