From CNN, :
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Coalition forces have killed 20 to 25 Iraqi militia members loyal to radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr during an ongoing operation to disarm insurgents in Karbala, according to senior coalition military official.Meanwhile, four Filipino contractors have died in a mortar attack on a U.S. air base in northern Iraq. ...
The coalition forces, supported by the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps and Iraqi security forces, also seized weapons and ammunition, including pipe bombs and rocket launchers.
A U.S. commander in Iraq has urged religious and political leaders to seek a "political outcome" to the standoff between U.S. troops and al-Sadr's Mehdi Army militia in two other Iraqi cities -- Najaf and Kufa.
Maj. Gen. Martin Dempsey said he has "opened a window" for negotiations.

Go ahead. "Open a window" for negotiation. Won't work in the long run. They see a desire for negotiations as a sign of weakness.
So, "Open a window". When that doesn't work, destroy the building.
That does work. Notice how quiet southern Thailand has been lately.
