If you decide to be unreasonable later, then, when it's later, you once again decide to be unreasonable.....but not yet.....maybe later.

Actually, 60% of Iraqis (the Shiites) are taking your advice. They are being "reasonable", patiently and politely and more-or-less peacefully waiting for America to provide the promised "Iraq for Iraqis". Only the Sunnis are currently being "unreasonable". My prediction is, that if we don't hold elections in Iraq by the time we have U.S. elections (and turn the country over to the Shiites), then the Shiites will stop being "reasonable". The Shiites are busily building their militias, in the meantime, for the coming showdown with the Sunnis, or the U.S. army if we stay too long.
