#1 It would seem to me that if you wanted to undo the Iraqi insugency, dealing with the various tribes first is the way to go. It appears from what I have read that any number of foreign elements can bribe these tribes to keep fighting even if it no longer io the tribes' interest to continue fighting.

Please note that since all the above is purely speculation based just on what I read, kindly answer it in that spirit unless you have links to prove any point you're trying to make. I am not willing to challenge anyone's expertise in this area, with some obivous exceptions. So, follow the above and you can stay sober reading the rest of the thread. ;o)
