That it does--and now they will fight for men and causes which they respect and love.
This is why many said we went into Iraq lean.

What they are doing may be necessary to keep some kind of order until interim government can be created. Even then, they should have a part. The trick will be in keeping some sort of secularism in place in the 'constitution' of Iraq. I don't know if these people can or want to be governed in isolation from their religion. The religionists in America don't seem to want to be.

This is why many said we went into Iraq lean. - by lean I mean we had few troops that could stay behind and occupy the grounds while the spearhead moved up.

"Sheik Mohanad al-Assadi is a 28-year-old Shiite scholar in Karbala. On Wednesday, he met with Youssef al-Haboubi, the long-serving civil servant appointed governor of Karbala by the al-Hawza this week, to discuss city affairs. Before him, he conferred with a doctor, police officers and ordinary people who sought his help to find jobs. He has bodyguards, a precaution after two senior clerics were killed by an angry crowd in Najaf last week." If these people hack to pieces in broad daylight with thousands of witnesses in THEIR HOLIEST OF HOLY MOSQUES one of THEIR OWN KIND (an Islamic religious leader), where does that leave the American G.I. standing out on the street corner risking his life for these same people's personal liberty?
Anyone?

Weren't Iraq and Kuwait one country once? Maybe the Kuwaitis should have a lot of say in how Iraq should be run since they are fairly reasonable types. Otherwise maybe it'd be better letting Iraq get divided up so Kurds get something, Shiites get something, Sunnis get something, and whoever else wants a piece gets something.

We need to send the Kurd fighters into these towns in order to clean up the Shi'it

This is normal, inevitable, predicted and manageable. The sky's not falling people. Don't panic.
