#1 Listen here.
That kind of "Dispute" is not at all cultural acceptable for the work we have tried to do in that country. I do not care if it is your religion, the corruption is driving us insane. We do not have anymore time, blood or money to spend in this and the pay really sucks. Iraq, you are failing, and that is not the fault of the Americans.

There is something devestatingly wrong about the culture in that part of the world. We can sense it. Something wicked, unGodly, and uncivilized. I believe that it is time that you start helping us pay down the debt we have incurred right away because the progress seen seems little and our losses great for what we have tried to do for you.

You seem ungrateful, angry, and unwilling to change. We need to see much more and much sooner. You are the last Arab country we will ever try to rebuild - for now on, we will just destroy and kill as our official policy. Something is desperately wrong with those religions out there.

#2 Under pressure from Washington to disband such groups, Maliki has insisted the main threat to Iraq's security comes from minority Sunni Arab insurgents and says he will deal with militias loyal to his Shi'ite Islamist allies in his own time.

SSDD. In other words; "We're out to get those Sunnis, those miserable Sunnis from Saud."

In effect, Maliki has said that he will continue to prosecute Sunni militias without disbanding any of his own. This can only be seen as an insistence upon continuing the cycle of violence and bloodshed. Maliki needs to go and be replaced by someone who is willing to crack down on all parties involved.

Does anyone get the sense that if you could somehow instantly eliminate all of the pernicious revenge cycles and vendettas going on in the Arab world that a near-paralysing motivational vacuum would settle over the land rendering its inhabitants entirely listless and without the desire to even feed themselves?

I swear, these stupid fucks live solely for the sake of blood-letting and mayhem. It is as integral in their daily lives as moving their bowels. Avenging the humiliation arising from a neighboring tribe winning some camel race five centuries ago displaces all other priorities like a housefire does for most ordinary people.

Yeah, it's called Islam.
