    I'm an Iraqi nationalist who wants my country to succeed, you're an insurgent who is trying to destroy my and your country by fighting those who are helping us rebuild as well as fighting those from your own nation who are helping rebuild.  Therefore, you are not a patriot, you are a terrorist.  I'm the real patriot.

    “We're cousins, everybody kicks us around, so let's fight, each other!”

    So let's learn from history, knock it off, and look ahead.

    Therein lies the rub; one side too busy trying to blow the other up and the other side using economic and political means to hamstring the first (or blow them up if that doesn't work). Didn't learn… doomed to repeat.“I blame it on Uncle Bob's nephew… oh, and Tommy helped by accident.” ;D Wally

    Except for the unprecedented U.S. military presence in the Middle East to change the dynamic.Hey Uncle Bob, your cousin is even calling you an infidel now.

    Uncle Bob (Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, PM) gave his nephew (Arthur Balfour) a job…. Nephew was later PM and author of the Balfour Declaration, widely blamed for much of the woe in the Middle East; Tommy (Woodrow Wilson) “helped” with the Fourteen Points” which, however well-meaning, were widely ignored.Perhaps we should have paid more attention to the little Asian cook that wrote a letter to the Big Four about self-determinatin for his country….Wally

    The best approach is to study history, and remember THIS COUNTRY was established by revoluntaries, or terrorists, if you will.
