Torch Something

After reading this article about the 64 people who died in Iraq, I wonder if something big ought to be done about it.

First, the facts: 64 Shia dead in Najaf, Karbala and Baghdad -- most of them in the former two cities from car bomb explosions. Three of the total dead were election workers pulled from their cars and executed during morning rushhour in broad daylight on one of the busiest streets in Baghdad. These latter killers then reportedly walked away, weapons in full view. (Good analysis of the sectarian divide in Iraq here.)

Now I ask you for ideas, not necessarily daisy cutters -- though that may prove to be a message that terrorists understand -- about how to inflict pain and suffering on the Sunni, Wahhabist arses behind this terror campaign?

I'm open to dumping pig semen on every Sunni stronghold from Baghdad to Fallujah, if that will get the point across that we can strike at will in a manner that leaves them less holy (pig semen being presumably as haram as the pig from whence it came) than before. What do you recommend? Fear Factor-style punishment?

Sigh. I was planning to write about my weekend's sloth, the Will Smith movie, I, Robot (which also features a distopian future of high scientific achievement -- does some Hollywood screenwriters' clique hate technology, or what?) and DC's sickening weather (-7F with wind chill), but it doesn't fit my mood anymore.
