The anwser is the same reason they targeted the UN and the Red Cross. They want to kill all foreigners because killing foreigners gets the big splash in the headlines.

"I would postulate that" HAHAHAHAHAHA you steaming coil
Perhaps you should off and start PROSTULATING that we're dealing with two entirely separate regions, scales of resistance, and even types of people - here. Furthermore, you might want to take a break from popping zits with the corner edge of your grade 9 history text and PROSTULATE that perhaps this single article on the oh so sophisticated British approach isn't quite holistic authority on sign of the times and "taming the beast"
****, I have so many tidbits from your own material to make fun of in a single post it's difficult to write without balling up in laughter. Please, do share more!!

Bottom line is, you just can't compare Basra and Baghdad as like. Although the British force does have the experience of N.Ireland to draw on, Basra isn't N.Ireland. (If anything, the experience of bloody sunday only goes to show the British Army does have experience through its own mistakes).
Would the Brits do any better in Baghdad ?? Impossible to say, I personally doubt it, but thats just a gut reaction.
If anything good comes out of this, the next time American troops are sent out to be a nations army/police/security .. they can say "We were in Baghdad" .. and be all the wiser for it."Wherever wood floats, you will find the British" . Napoleon

Well, I think Brits on average ARE better peacekeepers for a couple of reasons and I don't think it has anything to do with Ireland.
1) They are more culturally sensitive to the nuances of the locals
2) Their demeanor is more easy going
HOWEVER, their area is alot quieter already for 2 reasons:
1) Baghdad and Tikrit are the hotbeds of the troublemakers and that's where the USA deploys its best divisions, the same ones getting blown up on a daily basis.
2) It's worth more politically for terrorists to blow up an American. That's like getting the big prize for them. They will harass other Coalition forces like the other day but to kill an American is like the best thing they could hope for.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln
