      senseless or crazy, it was logical and teleological. Shiite militias
      were trying to remove Sunnis from Baghdad and other parts of
      the country, while Sunni militias were trying to remove Shiites,
      Kurds and Christians from their areas. This has been a great
      success. So you have millions of refugees and millions more internally
      displaced, not to mention hundreds of thousands dead. There are
      just less people to kill.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.counterpunch.org/whitney12012007.html">Now Iraq doesn't exist anymore. That's the most important thing
      to remember. There is no Iraq. There is no Iraqi government and
      none of the underlying causes for the violence have been addressed</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.counterpunch.org/whitney12012007.html">The smartest Iraqis-the best
      educated, the professionals, the middle and upper classes-have
      all left or been killed. So the society is destroyed. So there
      is no hope for a non-sectarian Iraq now. The refugees are getting
      poorer and more embittered. Their children cannot get an education
      and their resources are limited.</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/7E1D2B1B-8F5D-4C01-86C6-0EC02B0A69F4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.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>
