Yes I can see that Tom. The fighting factions need to accept their own complicity in the deaths of so many civilians which is the point Tracy was making and I agree with.

iro "Bring 'em on" - I think that will be forthcoming for many years. The "crushing" business is not going well...

>>>Now, to be fair, the majority of the deaths are not at the hands of the Americans (I'm referring to innocents) but mostly by factions, insurgents and other Arabs from other countries. You can argue that it would not be happening if the U.S. was not there, but then the insurgents and factions should only be targeting the U.S. if that is their sole issue and not the Iraqi people.

>>This is, of course, an excellent point. Why are the two Islamic factions killing each other by the truck-load and why would that be the fault of the foriegn forces.
