Look at the news. That rules out Faux News, obviously. Shiites are fighting back against the Sunnis. If only a few thousand are fighting, how come the US is unable to contain them? Or was Shinseki right when he estimated that we would need 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers to calm the country? As for some of them being non-Iraqi, how does that matter? The place is going up in smoke, and saying, "Gotcha! Some of them are non-Iraqi" achieves nothing. A civil war is a civil war. Besides these borders were drawn by the British in the early 1900's and make no sense to the people living in the region. A Shiite Iraqi has a lot more in common with a Shiite Iranian than with a Kurdish Iraqi. And so on.
