mj, we're working on cleaning up the thread (just an experiment) from pejorative terms like "useful idiots" which some might feel are directed at them. Just wanted to point that out. Thanks for playing.

IF the posts from Cyndwllr have not changed your perspective on the war and the propaganda surrounding the war and some of the notions that a lot of you continue to perpetuate here then it is hopeless.

No I do not believe as you do that there was a rise of violence that coincided with the run up in elections.

If that were true, why now are the eruptions there worse than ever. Cannot you see that the article written by Maureen Dowd today which I will be glad to post for further elucidation on facts not hyperbole... that we have a civil war in Iraq...

Is that the fault of the Democrats too ?

Some of what you all believe here I just cannot fathom . It is so far out in left field from reality.

And here everyone thought the increase in violence was directly related to ramadan! Who knew, it was just tied to the run up of our elections!
