This whole idea of not attacking shrines--with all the baddies hiding in the shrines (of course!)--makes no sense. In case you haven't noticed the pattern every time a Marine takes a leak in the sand, he's condemned for desecrating something or other. Go in fast and hard, get the job done at minimal cost to American lives, and get the hell out.
In the long run a few flattened Mosques that were obviously used as fortresses and bases by the bad guys will be forgiven faster than 150k American soldiers pussyfooting around for the next several years.
We've already blown up and killed so much that it's not like all the offended Iraqis will suddenly forgive us if we politely spare a building or two.
