re: Saying the coalition will not leave while there is violence, and being a major cause of the violence, puts the coalition in quite a difficult to win situation. Another part of the problem is that the suicide "terrorists" coming in from other countries are motivated by the US presence, certainly not by the new and fledgling Iraqi government. I've heard it said that the worst thing that could happen for Zarqawi would be for the US to pull out; he would lose his recruiting tool. And that seems to make sense. So on the one hand if the US pulled out you would see an end to one type of violence... what would replace it is anyones guess, from civil war to a dictatorial regime of one flavor or another. Or maybe even a successful Iraqi government in it's present form. One thing for sure is the status quo is not going anywhere. John
