They mostly seem to want to kill people signing up to serve in the Iraqi police, or Iraqi police. From their point of view, it's like the French resistance killing Frenchmen who collaborated with the Nazis. For every attack on police recruits or police, there is another on civilians: mosques, markets, funerals, all have been hit. Watch and you will see. Did you read the letter from Zarqawi in January, where he said the insurgency's best shot was to set off a Sunni-Shia civil war? The motive is hardly a mystery. Eg: Iraq attacks hit Shia civilians The killings contrast with earlier attacks targeting security forces Violence in Iraq has left at least 23 people dead, with attacks on civilians outside a Shia mosque and in a bakery in a mainly Shia part of Baghdad. news.bbc.co.uk

Sorry, I can hardly see how a (Saudi, Jordanian, Syrian and other) Sunni extremist blowing up Kurd or Shiite Iraqis, is any way like: "the French Resistance killing Frenchmen who collaborated with Nazis". I think we'd both agree that it's more like: The Klan lynching Blacks after the Civil War and Reconstruction. It would as if a bunch of Canadians had crossed into the South after the Civil War and started blowing up Black Schools and Churches - and killing Union Soldiers.
