Negotiations

The current holder of the “biggest a-hole in Iraq” title, Moqtada al-Sadr, has decided that maybe, just maybe, it might be time to surrender to negotiate with the Americans.
As we used to say in the Army, “there is no problem that cannot be solved by the suitable application of high explosives.”
Or as Marcus the Ranger in Babylon 5 said,
“Most of the Universe’s problems can be solve by the applivation of a brick to the side of the right head. Thr problem is if you don’t have a big enough brick or can’t find the right head. The Devil is in the details.”
Perhaps even better would be his line:
“You see? It’s like I’ve always said — you can get more with a kind word and a two-by-four than you can with just a kind word.”
