There is no good news in Iraq, regardless of who wins ultimately.

The insurgents are fighting against Western "democracy" and the culture that is concealed by it.

The Shia clerics are mistaken in their belief that Islam has the strength amd flexibility to withstand the materialist onslaught,true Islam will be devoured and used in the same manner as true christianity has been in the West.

The Islamist fanatics realise that if Iraq falls to "democracy" and its attendant worthless culture, the whole of the middle East will follow.

As i said before this war started it is a fight to the death ...Ake
