Not About Medicine

But I can't help it, I've been reading so much about the military action in Najaf, and it's been persistently frustrating. Can't we all agree that if throngs of murderers pack rifles and explosives into a "Holy Shrine" then the shrine is at least temporarily considered NOT HOLY until they can be killed? This is just ridiculous. If the killers disrespect their own holy site enough to use it as a military base, than why do we have to fall all over the place to prove we respect it?
