Militias And US Foreign Policy. The Iraqi president-under-foreign occupation is against disbanding Kurdish militias, but in favor of disbanding Sunni militias. Shi`ite militias in Iraq are against disbanding their militias, but in favor of disbanding Sunni militias. Druze, Sunni, and Maronite militias in Lebanon are in favor of disbanding Shi`ite militias, but in favor of keeping their own militias. Abbas wants to disband Hamas militia, but in favor of keeping Fath's militias. US supports pro-US militias, but waxes Weberian (on the need to monopolize the use of force) when it comes to anti-US militias in the Midde East.
