The Mesopotamian puts it into perspective
Politically, the U.S. has made an important conquest so far: That of the hearts and strategic alliance of both the majority of the Shiaa and certainly the Kurds; that accounts for at least 75% of the Iraqi people. And I am sure a sizable part of the Iraqi Sunnis can be won over eventually. The undercurrent of largely unspoken popular support and gratitude remains despite all the hardships, mistakes and even harshness in the relationship between the troops and the population due to the mistrust created by the terrorists. This is something that no amount of Media bias and enemy propaganda can shake off. This is the decisive factor, and this is what is going to prevail in the end of the day
Agreed. Most idiots think that the Sunnis represent Iraq. They do not. The Sunnis represent a proportion of people in Iraq roughly equivalent to the proportion of African Americans in the U.S. today. But you couldn't figure that out from the news coverage, could you?
Splash, out

Hi,
I was just looking around the net for web sites related to christian relationship and came across your blog. I was going to add a blog to my site, for christian relationship and of course other related material, but I'm not sure if it would work.
I'm a bit worried about getting un-wanted 'rude' posts rather than ones related to christian relationship on my site...... perhaps I just try it out - then you can come and post on it :)
Take care
Stewart
