A professor of Middle Eastern studies just on TV....stated that terrorists in Iraqi are Iraqi, Syrian, Palestinian, Jordanian for the most part......they know because the ones that are caught give themselves away by language dialect.
Not so much the Republican Guard anymore.....
and of course no one knows what Nationality the suicide bombers are but it is suspected that they are Palestinian.

I had lunch Saturday in an Arab Restaurant, Cedar Gardens, talked to a few Iraqis and they say Iraq 100% better off minus Saddam Hussein & sons.....
they don't believe terrorists are Iraqi but also didn't say who they might be either.

great Chicken Schwarma salad.......

And I am a firm believer in "To thyself be true". Among other things, this means I don't believe in arm twisting the world to do things my way. But I do believe I should conduct my own affairs according to the ethics I can live with.

As to the second part of your post, rather than muddling through and getting into dirty business waist deep, I think we should foster the creation of equitable international laws. Then instead of just waiting for some mythical day where the world is a better place, we are actually building towards it.
