I think the next 60 days will see the intense lobbying of iraqi sunni tribal elders. Did anybody say warlords as in afganistan? Its not a perfect model for the iraqis to follow although the insurgents can become part a tribal leader militia of sorts. The talibanization of zarquawi would be a good next step as nationalists turn against the foreigners. The united front may only last so long and combine this with a defacto exit date for US forces maybe, just maybe this can work. Unlike afganistan sunnis will have no drug trade but in a federal model they will need a cut of the oil proceeds to dampen the blow of desaddamization. Mike

I just now finished reading that 200 gathered in Iran at a cemetery to pledge their willingness to carry out suicide attacks. I imagine it is the same for all the other neighboring islamic countries. Bush says it's time for the Iraqies to go to the polls, he could care less if they all have bullseyes on their backs.
