>Information that I had not understood at the time has lead me to beleive that more of the attacks are being lead by militant Islamic Kurdish. There appears to have been credible evidence of a link between them, Iran and Al Qaeda. That's correct, but it seems that even more are being led by Iraqi nationalists... former Baathists and Iraqis who don't understand that we're trying to help them, and just see as occupiers, no matter what we do. In recent weeks, the Ba'athists actually have started to turn on the Kurds. A couple of the recent beheadings were Kurds and there has been some fighting between the Kurds and Sunni insurgents. Plus, the insurgents have done drivebys in Mosul......the Kurdish capital. Since Saddam's fall, the Kurds have been getting their act together and have gotten more prosperous. That does not make the insurgents happy. ted
