Brother I hope you are right. I have talked to literally hundreds of returning Iraq vets and several of my friends have spent time there in combat. Most of them don't see that and feel that the whole thing isn't worth it. The Marines for the most part (not all) want to lay waste to the whole country - for payback and so they and their brothers don't have to go back. When the moms and pops rise up we will have won. I for one am not holding my breath.

Twisted Islam has not destroyed the mind of all in Iraq ... there are some parents truly appalled at the 'sacrificing of children in car bomb murders' and the tide is slowly turning in the estimate of the 'adopt-a-soldier' members I correspond with. The Kurdish North and much of the other provinces outside of Baghdad are already awakening into civilization after being oppressed under the Sunni regime. Now, even Sunnis are realizing the evil in their past.
