Hi Neocon; Re: "Whether moving beyond containment is possible depends on the Iraqis. If their aversion to civil war is great enough, all is likely to come out well." I'm scratching my head. I'm trying to think of a single incident from the past 12 months that would suggest that Iraq is subject to a civil war. All I can think of is that there has been a few minor incidents between Kurds and Arabs. But I really can't remember anything going on between the two Arab religious factions. I think that the constant talk about "civil war" in Iraq is just that, talk. We've already ceded control of most Iraqi cities to various local forces and no signs of a civil war. -- Carl

I finally forced myself to look at photos of bodies and body parts of the four private security guards killed in Fallujah. Warning, scenes that will remind you of Night of the Living Dead. Body parts dangling from power lines, an interesting "festive" touch. aztlan.net In charity, I am telling myself that the residents of Fallujah lived through 30 years of Saddam Hussein, and it's only to be expected that some are brutalized and inhuman. Or maybe this is actually common practice and I've simply led a sheltered life.
