It's not primarily Al Queda that we're fighting in Iraq and we're not fighting there "for" the Iraqi people. It's the Iraqi people that are fighting us and there are many segments with different reasons for fighting us. The one thing that unites them is their sense of history, unity, nationalism and loathing of Infidels who invade their country and hurt their pride. Just as in Vietnam, soon we'll turn more and more violent against the population that has shown tolerance for, or active support of, the insurgents. Eventually those who lividly hate our soldiers and actively engage in "terror" will be a majority. It's been that way in every occupied nation in history. It's especially true when the occupying force wears two faces and values its interests far ahead of those it governs. It's even more true when the most powerful political and social force in the country are the clerics of a radical religion and they won't accept a figurehead secular government unless they can pull the strings. Establishing a puppet government won't fool anybody and won't make a difference on June 30th or afterwards. If you're going to have to leave with your tail between your legs, better sooner than later.
