Now it’s time for the Iraqis to decide seriously if they want a government, and then act like it. Or do they want to become the next Somalia?

Actually, that time arrived about four years ago. The answer is quite clear: The Iraqis hate one another and will never willingly live together in peace, at least not in our lifetime. For that matter, even the concept of 'an Iraqi' is an artificial construct imposed by the British and the French. It is the U.S. that has decided the Iraqis 'seriously want a government' and has been forcing them to pretend they have one. When was the last time the people of the state of Iraq have lived together except by force? The answer is never.

"The answer is quite clear: The Iraqis hate one another and will never willingly live together in peace,

probably painfully true..............

Half a TRILLION US Taxpayer dollars, 3300 American lives, 20,000 (?) Americans maimed, and the iriaqis still live to kill each other.......... Who wins, seriously, who wins here?

Iraq, the Yugoslavia of the middle east, is rapidly morping into that mythical Viet Namese village that had to be destroyed so that it could be saved.

" The Iraqis hate one another and will never willingly live together in peace, at least not in our lifetime."

IMHO - There are 25 million Iraqis, and the existing level of violence is far below what would happen if that number of people hated one another and had the opportunity they have to engage in conflict. As IraqtheModel.com states, this is not a civil war, it is a war of the sectarians.
