"So I think it may not be time well spent in trying to discuss the reality of what's happening in Iraq and Afghanistan with someone who has, alternatively, Pollyanna and doomsday radical perspectives. Ed "

There is no argument here. If you are not willing to look at what the leaders of the Insurgent groups said about themselves (which I have fairly presented) then you are choosing to make up your own fairy land definition of what is happening in Iraq.

Al-Sadr: He told his followers that the real reason the USA invaded Iraq is because we knew Al-Mahdi was preparing to reveal himself on earth and we want to murder him when he does. The Army he created is the Army of Al-Mahdi not the army of Al-Sadr. So, even though he directed them to desist for the moment he also told them that he could not, nor could any government ever disband them because they belong to Al-Mahdi.

Al-Zaraquawi: He declared his mission in support of the Al-Quaida. The Al-Quaida considers the Shi-ites their most hated enemy because they consider the worst sin on earth to be corrupting Gods word...which they accuse the Shi'ites of doing.

You can easily do a web search on Al-Mahdi and on the Wahabi mission to learn for yourself.

Accusing me of having radical doomsday perspectives is pattently false and in denial of who and what we are dealing with. Please educate your self a tiny bit before speaking for people and cultures you know nothing about.
