Hey Ron, its not my map, its from the bbc.

The insurgency was mainly post-Saddam, radical Sunni Arabs. Who do you think is bombing the Shia? Why do you think it was Al Qaeda and not radical Sunnis? If it was al Qaeda, don't you think the bombing would be more evenly distributed among regions? Why would al Qaeda bomb Shiites more often than Sunnis?

I also think your wrong about Bush. He might possibly benefit from a Sunni govt. but never a Shiite government. Thats why he is trying to form a Sunni-Arab-U.S. coalition. I don't think he gives a crap about victory in the traditional sense. That would mean an end to war. He is far more interested in the profits of war.

Seems to me that Bush and al Qaeda have similar goals in Iraq and they have nothing to do with a stable Iraq.
