The real problem (now) is that the Sunni-Shia rift has been inflamed and threatens to get completely out of control. So.. you'd recommend putting the 20% Sunni population back in charge of Iraq's 60% majority Shi'a? Nice to know you believe that Saddam was such a "unifier" and never would do anything to inflame sectarian tensions. Hawk

The real problem in Iraq isn't that al Qaeda is there. The real problem (now) is that the Sunni-Shia rift has been inflamed and threatens to get completely out of control. Until you and Bush get that firmly ensconced in your brain, then talk is silly, and the problem won't even get addressed. Since according to the late unlamented Zarqawi, it was the tactical aim of Al Qaeda in Iraq to deliberately inflame the Sunni-Shia rift by massacring as many Shia as possible, these two problems were and remain rather tightly coupled.
