All I can say is "YOU NEED TO READ THIS"!
Here is a quote from a New York Times OpEd piece by seven soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division: "A few nights ago, for example, we witnessed the death of one American soldier and the critical wounding of two others when a lethal armor-piercing explosive was detonated between an Iraqi Army checkpoint and a police one. Local Iraqis readily testified to American investigators that Iraqi police and Army officers escorted the triggermen and helped plant the bomb."
Why are we continuing to stay in Iraq when it is obvious that we cannot solve the centuries old conflict between the Sunnis and the Shiites? Neither group wants us there any more, at least not as occupiers. The best idea I have heard so far is to come up with some kind of a Marshall plan like we did after World War 2, with all countries in the Middle East participating (monetarily and politically) in Iraq's recovery. I see our role as primarily a diplomatic one, and I would hope that our leadership has the political will to do what is best for the Iraqi people.
