    It's called management
    Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

        Yeah... I was totally against the war, but now it's our mess and we're responsible for keeping it from getting even worse.

          If we'd left sooner, they would have settled their differences. Now, Shi'ite death squads are liquidating Sunnis at a horrific rate. Of course, while only men are targetted by death squads, it's so dangerous for women otherwise that they don't leave home anymore, lest they be kidnapped, raped, and then honor-killed by their own family.

          Is there anything this administration can't **** up?

                Yeah, the Sunnis would've killed a bunch of people and reasserted their dominance over the majority of Kurds and Shia.

                  If they were capable of that, then they'd be capable of defending themselves from the death squads.

                    said Abbas al-Bayati, a prominent Shiite legislator. “Compromising with the insurgency will encourage the insurgents to do more and more violence in the region.”

                        Berz, you should be used to conservatives saying one thing for one argument, and something different for the next.

                          I'd wager that 3 years of struggle against American and later Iraqi forces has degraded the military capabilities of Sunni insurgents and militias a bit.

                            maybe we are looking at the wrong militias as a threat?

                              US forces have fought certain Shia militias in the past and are currently engaging the Mahdi Army again. If the Sunni really do buy into the political process and start cracking down on their militias, I would expect to see a greater US push to rein in and ulitimately disband the Shia militias.

                                but somehow the US expectations always outpace actual outcomes
