#1 More of the same. But the Happy Faces crowd on Hannity Street USA insist it's all the MSM's fault for reporting the downside.

So, where's the upside?

#4 "Al-Sadr also challenged sheik Harith al-Dhari, the Sunnis' most influential leader who heads the Association of Muslim Scholars, to issue a fatwa, or religious edict, that condemned Sunni attacks on Shiites. The Shiite cleric said al-Dhari should ban Sunnis from joining al-Qaida in Iraq and organize the reconstruction of the Shiite Golden Dome mosque in Samarra, north of Baghdad. "

This should happen.

#5 It seems like these guys need to "vent" for a while to prove their manhood to each other before they will settle down. It also seems to me that scores to settle that were on the fence before now need to be settled. Perhaps it would be best to let them at each other for a while. In the end it may cost less blood if there was an explosion of violence and the resulting catharsis than it would to try to contain it and get into a steady-state tit-for tat that has no clear beginning or end.

And maybe not.

I wouldn't want to be the guy responsible for managing this one!
