#1 LOL Spot.

"...fears that Sunni radicals who drive Iraqâs insurgency could grow ever more alienated."

Alienated? I'd bet most Iraqis would be happy with that. Dead: even better.

#2 Hot damn--I thought terrorists alone were bad enough, and alienated terrorists sound even worse! Thank God they're not seething alienated terrorists--oh, hold me, Fatima!

#3 ..that many Iraqis hope will usher in democracy and hasten the departure of 150,000 American troops.

Oh really? And how did Keyser come to this determination? Ask a handful of Sunni individuals about their feelings about being occupied and then decide to call that number "most"?

#5 Better they be alienated than the rest of the world be upset or weasels.

#6 Baathists were truly repudiated in this election, now the US and coalition should drive a wedge between the baathists and the foreign fighters by pointing out that the best case scenerio for the Sunni insurgency is an independent Sunni triangle with no economic prospects (even Jordan wouldn't want to absorb them). A worse case scenerio is chasing the US out and watching the Kurds and Shia fill some mass graves with payback.

You want some punks? Well do you? Time to cooperate and join the team for the big win.

#7 I prefer alienated over homicidal terrorist Sunnis, myself.
