I'm holding my breath waiting for some imam, any imam, to state that blowing up scores of innocent civilians with a suicide bomb is, you know, WRONG.
Keep holding your breath. Just be sure you have your next-of-kin let us know when the funeral is...
This all brings back my thoughts of why we are there... these people know nothing of peace, nor do they act like they want it. Hatred is the name of the game - heck, they don't even care about each other.
I honestly do not believe that any plan put in place by the "infidel America" will every truly take hold in Iraq. WE are learning why Saddam ruled with an iron fist. That is the only thing those people understand.
I say that we train the current Iraqi military/police and get out. It is more than time for them to step up to the plate. But unfortunately, we also know that when we leave, there is almost a certain Civil War in the making. To prevent such a war would mean that whoever is in power must rule with an iron fist... Hmmmm.... see a pattern here?
