I just don't get the impression that we are steering
events in any particular direction nor convincing the
various players to peaceably engage in the process

If we appear to be dictating to them, it would backfire. I think we are trying our damndest to steer it toward Democracy. We knew it would be tough going in to get it there, just not this tough.

It's hard to separate out the truth of what is going on from the "noise" of the media's reporting. It will be the end of May before we get rid of the immediate problems, if we do then.

I am more concerned, long term, with the Shiite Cleric than I am with the "bad boys" in Fallujah. Fallujah is more of a straightforward military problem.

I thought the kurds have no real interest in the south Iraq and want to control their own area and oil up north.

Wouldn't kurd rule divide the country? I would think it is best for the leaders to try to work something out , thinking in the long run the Iraq people will be better off. larger purchasing control, army, etc.

It certainly appears the leaders are not uniform but divided like tribes.
