#5  The problem with leaving him alive is that terrorists minutemen and patriots will take hostages and demand his release. Even if we don't blink, that means more dead hostages.

#3  Spot-on, tt. The entire re-entry into the game by the Sunnis, despite having voluntarily opposed it and boycotting, is a mistake. The Sunnies are apparently centuries behind the Shi'a - who are centuries behind the Kurds. They can break and / or mangle the system if the Shi'a allow them - and it certainly appears they haven't the stones to stand up to them. Cowed too long? I dunno, but there are troubling signs, IMHO.
