I think that it's difficult to tell who's doing the most harm in Iraq. That's why I marvel at folks like you that can divine this information. What I can glean from the sparse information available about the war in Iraq is this. Sunni insurgents have made a practice of hitting Shia strongholds. That usually means the Shia that are forming the new government and who are becoming the Iraqi army and police. Also Zarqawi likes to hit the same simply because they are in alliance with the US troops. So the two groups which do not like each other tolerate one another since they are interested in the same targets, albeit for different reasons. The sweep in Baghdad netted mostly Iraqis...probably Sunnis. More than 95% of them were Sunni. How you can characterize that foreign fighters are causing much of the damage is beyond my ability to know. What I'd say is that most likely the insurgents, foreign and domestic, are probably affecting the situation in Iraq according to and proportional to their strength in number. Orca
