It looks as if there are many acts of violence of many sorts, and it looks as if in many cases the people who get killed are not the people whom the person or persons commiting the acts intended to kill. I have no idea how many people may be coming into Iraq from other countries to blow themselves and other people up. As someone else pointed out, once a person has blown himself or herself up it's kind of hard to figure out who it was.

What is clear is that certain incidents, where newly recruited police or soldiers are lined up and executed, are intended to punish and terrify Iraqis who cooperate with the American military.

I don't really blame our current president for not knowing how this occupation would turn out. I do blame him for thinking that he DID know what he was doing and for leading the country into a war on the basis of protecting us from those nonexistent WMDs.
