I respect what you are saying Seaver, but these "clerics" probably have some following. Yes it maybe like having a Fallwell or Robertson saying they want war over here and a majority would laugh at them, but there are the ones that take what they say so seriously that they'd do it.
The extremists are the hardest people to fight because they blindly and unquestionably follow orders and believe their cause is worth dying for.
I'd venture to say we have quite a few guys over there that aren't so loyal (because of the way the administration kept lying over the causes... and the fact our troops aren't as well equipped as they should be.
