<The democrats need to stop undercutting our troops and US will in making a lasting change in the Mid-East.. We may fail, but we'll CERTAINLY FAIL if they continue their devisive (if not seditious) behavior.>
Seditious? Come on Hawk, get a grip. It's called democracy and freedom. Where every individual has an opinion and the freedom to express it. Divisiveness is part of democracy. It's built into the very heart of it, which is why there are at least two political parties vying for power, made up of hordes of individuals representing their own interests and looking for a piece of the action.
<demonstrating for the entire Islamic world to see that these "Jihadists" have little compunction towards killing people of supposedly of their own faith.>
I don't think it shows that. I suppose the attacks on Moslems are by Saddamistas and others vying for power like the good old days in Iraq. Not the Jihadis.
The attacks on Americans are more likely the work of the Jihadis, as well as the Saddamistas, Baathists, those simply seeking revenge, those who simply want to be violent and see opportunity, and others who have an axe to grind.
I suppose, as with the box-cutter attacks, collateral damage of Moslems is okay with Jihadis if the kill ratio is strongly in their favour. The USA accepts friendly fire, collateral damage and mistakes as part of achieving the primary goal. Jihad will do the same. But I don't see how an attack by Jihad on purely Iraqi police will help them achive their goal. So I doubt it was them. Therefore, I doubt the attacks on Iraqis put Jihad in a bad light.
