Hawk, it seems like a WWI type set-up for vast killing to make present casualty levels look trivial: <The Saudis are telling us the same thing. We leave and they will provide open support to the Sunni insurgents and turn this into a Sunni-Shi'a civil war. And you can't help but understand that that this will then involve Iran entering in on the Shi'a side. You haven't even BEGUN to see violence, DTK, until that happens. (god forbid). > If we think of humans as a species rather than anthropomorphing them, nature has historically resolved such over-population matters and territorial tribal dominance hierarchy rule by conquest in the traditional manner of mammalian males genocidally reducing their's and their neighbour's male populations sufficiently that harmony with natural resources is rebalanced. The surviving males go ahead and breed with the females of the vanguished and enjoy a bigger empire with greater strength to defeat the next opposition. Breeding was imperative for success. I would not want to risk my life to stop them when they have no philosophical foundation for another approach. Such situations are hideous in the extreme. The USA had such a civil war. Tutsis and Hutus were at it. Millions have died in such confrontations around the world. Given circumstances in Iraq [and the region] such outcomes seem likely. Mqurice
