11. So Called God fearing
Americans better go back & read your bible. If you think redemption for this atrocity will be painless think again.

Born & raised here I now want nothing to do with those of us who blindly promote this genocide.

BURN IN HELL MOTHERFUCKERS!

3. These idiots won't be happy until thermonuclear war breaks out.
It won't surprise me to see attacks against religious shrines and important sites of western religious value.

The poll rsults are very strange, given the growing trend in reliable polls tthat indicate a majority of Americans who are not happy with this war. This must have been freeped on a massive scale. It would be interesting to see how many actual IP addresses are in the "pro" vote.

5. I CANNOT STAND the stupidity any more. My e-mail to CNN:
Your question today "Should U.S. forces attack sacred sites in Najaf where militants are hiding?" is stupid and irresponsible.
You should have completed it: "even if it means thousands of deaths (American and Iraqi--Iraqis are people too, you know) because a 'sacred' site for Muslims is REALLY SACRED and more important than life?"
AMERICANS ARE TOO IGNORANT AND YOUR QUESTIONS TOO STUPID FOR THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY!!!!!

9. Why Is Najaf So Holy?
American troops are engaged in fierce combat with insurgents near Najaf, one of Iraq's holy cities. Why is Najaf considered so sacred?

Because it's the site of the tomb of Ali, the first imam of the Shiites. When Mohammed died in A.D. 632, there was a schism over who should be his successor. A learned council called a shura selected Abu Bakr, one of the prophet's closest friends and allies. But many of the faithful insisted that Mohammed had wished to pass the mantle to Ali, his cousin, adopted son, and son-in-law. They claimed that the prophet had expressed this desire in a sermon delivered during his last hajj, or holy pilgrimage. Those who revered Ali as Mohammed's rightful heir became known as the Shi'at Ali, or "faction of Ali"—the forefathers of today's 150 million Shiites.

Our political and military leaders have no idea* of how the destruction of this sacred site will unite the Shiites (120 million of them in the world).

*or don't care
