<<<<....."but one has to consider what motivates the average Sunni guy who can't get a job, sits in an apartment in 110 degree heat without electricity and has iffy access to water and sanitation. While the writer may be correct about geopolitical aspects, the insurgency will be put down largely if life returns to what passes for normal in Iraq ..." BD, Let's suppose that America pulls out of the Sunni triangle and it de facto becomes an independent state. The oil wealth is in the Shiite south and the Kurdish north. Left to "stew" in their own insurgency - and not being the top dogs running the whole of Iraq - how long do you suppose that insurgency will last even if the average Sunni continues to sit unemployed in his 110 degree apartment without clean water and a chicken in the pot??
