The United States is now clearly involved in a guerrilla war in the Sunni regions of Iraq.

Evidently, the British are also now clearly involved in a guerrilla war in the Shi'ite regions of Iraq..

NO SANCTUARIES...
this means mosques......
However it also means alientating the religous leaders...
Shut down international support groups
Including those in Saudi Arabia Europe and the U.S.

The people of Iraq have maintained a Syriac culture for 4000 years. I don't think we can change it and that is the problem. Westerners like the Greeks, Romans and Brits tried to change their ways but they all failed. The Mongols attempted genocide by obliterating Baghdad but the culture survived amongst the peasantry.
