It's not true that the Iraqis didn't vote on their form of government. They voted on the constitution. Nor is it true that a sectarian slate is mutually exclusive with a representative government. Obviously, one can be represented either way. Because I don't refute all of the long list of highly emotional statements that you present as if they were factual does not mean I consent to them and should not be construed that way. I just don't have the time to waste. And I will continue to maintain that this isn't about Iraq as long as your posts have a lot more to do with your personal emotional history than with facts on the ground in Iraq, which, as you obviously haven't noticed, are improving, certainly with regard to AQI which is very much on the ropes. The Sunni insurgency is over. You ridiculed me for saying this a few weeks ago. Check the figures - it's still over. JAM, they're still a big problem.
