You go first
Jawad al-Maliki has been asked to head the new Iraqi government. In his first order of business, he has called upon all militia groups to lay down their weapons and merge into the Iraqi army. After all, as he so aptly mentions, it’s the law.
Think about it though. Would you be the first one to turn in your AK-47 and rocket launcher? That’s what I thought.
Recall the movie Outlaw Josey Wales when the remnants of Bloody Bill Anderson’s Confederate insurgents laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Yankees. The Yankees mowed them down with a Gattling gun while they were pledging allegiance to the United States.
The no gun law in Iraq seems like a tough one to enforce. How about printing some “just say no to automatic weapons” bumper stickers?

Lynn,
As you've always told me when I asked what you would do if everyone in the world laid down their arms: "Rule Wisely"

Give up your guns! Why that's just down right un-American!
From my cold dead fingers...
