#2 I suspect that this is more about making the Persian Gulf safe for Persians than anything else. If Shiites are not cooperating with us due to orders from the leadership-in-exile, then that is a worrysome developement. It will be hard to put together any half-way representative transitional government lacking their participation. Without that, we don't win.

#3 A Westerner Goes to the Middle East

"I'd like some common sense please."
"Fresh outta that."
"What about personal responsibility?"
"What's that?"
Sigh
"Well, what do you have?"
"We have jihad, jihad, jihad and jihad, jihad, and jihad."
"What about prosperity? Personal freedom?"
"We've got jihad, jihad, jihad, jihad and Spam, jihad, and jihad in a jihad sauce."
"But I don't like jihad."
"You don't like jihad? Hey, Ahmed, this evil, dirty, Zionist American, who wants to take over the world and is to blame for every short-coming EVER in the Arab world--past and present--says she doesn't like jihad!"
"Well, a jihad on her then".

#4 Recycled Commie joke:
"Don't you have common sense on floor 2?"
"No, on this floor we don't have personal responsibility. It's on floor 1 where we don't have common sense."
