Once again America screws it up.
Before we all know it there will be another civil war in Iraq. Both sides are American allies armed and trained by US forces.
It is almost like a bad Hollywood comedy.
The US forces occupy a country and then don't know what to do, killing and destruction they do know, peace they have no idea.

The expedient relationships of all sectors over the past two years can only possibly be temporary (and a cynic may say it is a splash of paint to allow the US to sneak away without too much notice). The 'bad comedy' is that, like so much else, so many people see no deeper than the shiny coat of cheap paint.

                by Iraqi security forces on the Sunni Arab militiamen, known
                as the Awakenings (<I>sahwat</I>) in Arabic and referred to as
                the Sons of Iraq by the US military, pitted two ostensible US
                allies against one another. Together with arrests of other prominent
                militia leaders and the concrete timeline for the drawdown of
                US troops, the confrontations have raised questions as to whether
                some among these armed Sunni Arab factions are ready to return
                to insurgency in response to their treatment by Maliki’s government.
                The fate of the <I>sahwat</I> is but one aspect of a larger struggle
                over the nature of the Iraqi state and its component parts --
                a struggle in which the United States is increasingly relegated
                to a subsidiary role. This latest phase of the intra-Iraqi wrangling
                that dates back almost to the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime,
                could tip the country back into sectarian civil war and complicate
                Obama’s efforts to extricate the US military from Iraq.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6D449031-3313-48DB-BB60-1D726CD778D8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
