Teribus--

"I would draw your attention to"--the actual topic of this thread. You have yet to even start to make the case that Bush is Churchill, that this year is 1940, etc.

Also:

Saddam is:

1) a megalomaniac bent on world conquest--as you might want to argue Hitler was in 1940.

2) dead

Gee, I wonder which one of these is right.

And it certainly is revealing how many statesmen are coming around to what I've been saying for over a year--and you've been denying: probably the most important question in Iraq right now is: can the Iraqi Sunnis, derided by you as the equivalent of hardline Nazis in 1945, trust the Iraqi police? And its corollary--will Maliki actually purge the police of Shiite militias--instead of just talking about it?

Your attitude-that the Sunnis should just accept the new situation--has been wrong from the start--and is still wrong.

It's also interesting that somehow you've forgotten to answer my earlier question to you: how long would you accept the situation if your own police were targeting you for the crime of just being Catholic, Protestant, Irish, English, Welsh, Scots--without regard to what you had personally done? Which is precisely analogous to what you are saying the Sunnis should do--accept it.
