Anyone remember the Uncle Remus story of the TAR BABY ?

This may not be the second Viet Nam, but it sure as hell is looking like the first Iraq. Look, it is their country, they don't want us there!
How many times in the past have we backed the minority and ended up having the majority hate us?
When will we ever learn? Who are we going to turn the country over to? The Sunis hate us, the Kurds don't trust us (with damn good reason) and now, the Shiits also are rebelling against our occupation. Guest, where are we headed in Iraq?
