It's a well known fact that the vast majority of the problems in Iraq are sectarian. I threw in that bone about the terrorist threat to appease you fear mongering republicans. If the terrorists are in Iraq...we just can't find them. Sure the label says Pork and Beans...but where's the pork? In the end, Iraqis need to solve the problems of Iraq. No time like the present for them to get started. Orca

>>As I said, you could write for Bush. But that second paragraph above is pretty silly. Us being gone removes the reason for terrorists to be in Iraq? LOL. You really don't comprehend much about who's being murdered in Iraq, and WHO would get control of Iraq if we don't finish this. Somehow, I think I'm more concerned about American Security than you are.<< Dan - It is certainly the case that one of the prime motivators of the insurgency is the fact that we are occupying the country. However, that is not the only motivation. The situation there is much more complicated than that. There are of course the long-standing animosities between the Sunni and Shia, the Kurds, etc. So if we were to withdraw, that would remove one prime motivator of the insurgency, but that wouldn't mean that the situation would suddenly stabilize. I'm sure things would get worse. - Allen
