<roadblocks everywhere are holding the situation together> Exactly what the Israelis do. The problem with this "solution", is that it makes life intolerable for the civilian population, leading to steadily building support for the Iraqi freedom fighters. A man whose wife spent hours getting through a checkpoint, (followed by a humiliating search), is not going to be offering intel to the foreigners who create all this inconvenience and humiliation. <The rest of the country they report is much better off, and things are moving in a positive direction.> Sistani and Bush are on a collision course. The real contest for 2004 is not Republican vs. Democrat, Bush vs. Kerry. It's Bush vs. Sistani. Bush insists on a neo-colonial appointed government for Iraq, a Byzantine selection process that America can control. Sistani wants democracy: a government chosen directly by the people, in a free and fair election. He's so sure the people are with him, he's even willing to hold the election under the guns of a foreign army of occupation. By June, the fraction of the Iraqi population actively opposing our occupation will rise from 20% to 80% of the Iraqi population.
