Please note that the article is about SUICIDE BOMBERS, the most fanatic of the Islamists, willing to give their lives for the cause. This is a totally different group than we were talking about before, re how many of the insurgents were native Iraqis. So, talking apples and oranges again. Do you see and understand the difference?

I posted two scholarly, footnoted articles on the subject of the insurgents and how many of them are Iraqi and what sects they came from (after your repeated requests for substantiation). Did you have time to read and absorb them yet?

There is no doubt there are a lot of foreign insurgents in Iraq now, because the country is going to hell in a hand basket. What is important to remember is that they all came in response to our aggression in Iraq. It looks like a civil war is brewing. I wonder how many decades we'll be there, losing American soldiers in a war for which there was no justification?
