From (who else?) the ineffable Thomas L. Friedman:
The forces killing Americans and Iraqi police are primarily Sunni Muslims who want to restore the rule and privileges of their minority community and Baath Party, or foreign and local Islamists who are trying to undermine any prospect of modernism, pluralism and secularism in Iraq.
Virtually every poll taken since the fall of Saddam indicates that neither of these groups - who have tried to disguise their real objectives behind a mask of anti-Americanism - represents the vast majority of Iraqis, who want to elect their own government, free of intimidation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
