Allawi understandably wants to put on a good front in his bid to stay in power. But I think it is dumb to say that your embedding security forces in the insurgent camps. Just puts them in jeopardy. Today I read a Phlly Enquire article about many Shia militia groups that are forming to take revenge on the Bathists. According to the article quite a few Sunni and Bathinsts in general are being targetted. If these gangs continue to operate independent of the Iraqi Security Forces, there is just more trouble in the make. I just sense it is going to be extremely difficult to bring a government into power that will insist on rules of law and enforcement along the lines of modern western philosophy. Tribal instincts will not go away. It is part of the fabric that makes up what these peoples. And ultimately it is up to the Iraqi peoples, (mostly their government) to decide what is proper or not in line with the Islamic laws.
However, it would be great to hear that Zarqawi his henchmen, other foreign insurgents, and the main Saddam lead insurgent leaders are rounded up and tried or killed outright. Perhaps this militia's can play a key rule under the table to this effect.
On the other hand, Saying that you're embedding security forces in the insurgent camps creates an atmosphere of paranoia and distrust within their ranks, creating an environment ripe for treachery.
"But I think it is dumb to say that your embedding security forces in the insurgent camps."
Disinformation. Now the enemy does not know who to trust. They can and may turn on anyone for the slightest provocation...
I think you forget our own history and path to today. We had many vigilante groups who took justice into their own hands. We had gun fights in the middle of the street. We had public hangings, etc. There will always be independant action by the public. Until we went through the Feminazi reign of the 70's and 80's, our men would not hesitate to crack seombody in the jaw for a terse word.
Give them time. They need to go through all of the phases of development into democracy. Jeez... It kills me that people think we created our form of life overnight.
