During OUR civil war, there was a famous conversation between a union soldier and a rebel. The Union soldier asked a rebel prisoner, "Why do you continue to fight us"? The rebel answered, "Because you all are down here."

Seems to me that the best way to avoid getting killed in Iraq is to stay the hell out of Iraq. It's clear to anyone with more than a teaspoon full of brains that they don't want us there, and that Iraq did not attack us in the first place. Insurgency my ass! this is a civil war.
