You do agree however that without a secure bagdad, iraq doesnt really exist as a nation. Hmm.. good question. I think that's like saying without a secure Washington, DC, the US doesn't really exist (maybe a bit of hyperbole).. Believe me, there are places in DC that I don't want to walk around in during the day, let alone at night. But yes, from a "public relations" image, Baghdad really needs to be "pacified" to a greater extent in order to create the image of unity, given that Baghdad is such a melting pot of the major religious and ethnic factions. Today we fight two versions of islamic terrorism with us always in the middle. Yes.. but I think that now that Al Qai'da financing has been dried up to a large degree, that Iran is probably the ultimate source of much of this terrorist financing. They have Syrian Intelligence to facilitate the Sunni/Salafist militants, while Iran's IRGC/MOIS handles Muqtada Al Sadr's Mahdi militia and Hizbullah. But I think most of the money is coming from Iran now. Hawk
