Arab governments complain when we intervene and they complain when we don't intervene. Basically, they complain no matter what. So asking what they want is pointless. It takes a while to notice this trend over time, but there it is. They have not stopped to consider the consequences of this behavior, but those consequences are about to become apocalyptic for Nouri al-Maliki. | |

| #4 Turns out the magic feather really was what kept Dumbo in the air. Crushed folks in a half dozen rows of seats when he went "splarp!" Th civil suits drove the circus out of business, of course. |

| #2 Frankly, if the arabs won't stand up and fight for themselves, it always was a doomed enterprise. The problem is Iraq isn't a nation and never was; it's a collection of tribes, but that fact is unacceptable to our social theorists. The Kurdish Pershmugga don't seem to have any issues deciding what to do. |

| #1 Al-Qaeda's goal from the git go was for America to leave the middle east. Al-Qaeda had tried and failed to take out the Arab regimes. "Why?", they asked themselves. Because America was there to prop the Arab regimes up. If we can get America to leave then we can over throw the existing regimes and then we can be king, I mean Emir. Notice the key words, get America to leave. Not defeat America. And where did they get this idea? Why Vietnam of course. The American liberals will always walk away from a fight. Dear God, save us from ourselves. |
