You make a good point Rue. What happens in Iraq is the result of policy that was decided by the Prezdent or (more likely) Cheney and Rumsfeld. Are soldiers fighting a long-running insurgency? Well, maybe if Rummy hadn't decided to do the war on the cheap, and sent in 400,000 troops instead of 140,000, and hadn't decided to totally de-Baathify the entire Iraq military and civil service, throwing teachers, clerks, judges and soldiers out of work, and maybe if the reconstruction money had actually gone to local Iraq businesses for (gasp!) reconstruction our troops wouldn't have to deal with boys throwing stones at them and Sunnis supporting a geurilla war. But one of the things I notice about this Prezdent and his coterie- the buck stops every place else... the CIA, State, individual (deviant) soldiers.
