New Online Magazine Urges Jihad in Iraq I think it's best to keep things in perspective. Most of the violence in Iraq, and the tolerance Iraqis have shown, risking their lives to vote and so forth has to do with the Shias wiling to risk nearly anything this time to ensure that they are no longer under the boot of the Sunni minority of thugs who were running things under Saddam - and surely not a sudden love of American Democracy. There are certainly some characters in Iraq for the golden opportunity to stir up trouble, but in the main, this is a religious civil war - this explains clearly why so many Iraqis themselves have been targeted by this violence. Were Iraqis really broadly nationalistic above these ethnic conflicts, I don't believe we would see as many Iraqis murdered by these terrorist thugs as we see. They wouldn't murder their own countrymen just for the sake of attacking the US by proxy.
