Those who are willing to die and kill will control Iraq.
The majority of the population wants peace and democracy. The knuckleheads, backed by Saudi funds, are trying to throw dingleberries in the democracy punchbowl.
They are well funded and well equipped, just like the knuckleheads in Afghanistan. Afghans knuckleheads are excellent fighters, and are clearly teaching their Iraqi counterparts.
It's up to the Iraqi people to fight for what they think is right. Most of the sensible ones, after 35 years of horrors, have learned it's best to keep a low profile, unfortunately.
If non-Muslims "invaders" do the fighting and killing, they only create more enemies.
It's clearly a very difficult situation, and one which is playing right into radical Islam's game plan.
This "politically incorrect" quotation from offical the British history of The War in Mesopotamia rings so true:
"The Arab is generally intelligent, quick and impressionable. But he is slovenly and uncreative in practical matters, and is lacking in the power of co-operation...He has a natural bent for intrigue...the Arab is used to continual warfare of the guerilla type."
I'm starting to think it's time to cut our losses, but that will never happen in an election year.
