Final post too. :-)

In 2006, it was already declared to have devovled into civil war along sectarian lines. The insurgent activity is focused on the US forces being seen (rightly) as illegal occupiers.

So we're in agreement that the US is really there for the oil, which makes all these other arguments kind of moot, right?

I'm not anti-US. I'm anti-"1) illegally invading countries because they have what you want." And I'm anti-"2) scores of dead and mangled innocent men, women and children because of 1)." And I'm anti-"3) soldiers coming home fucked up physically and mentally from 1) and 2).

We can't continue arguing like this, but I respect you and wish you the best, Errant.
