Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!
But seriously Max, I think you might be overstating the severity of the matter. Of course it's important that we highlight the problems in Iraq, and we need to keep harping on them, cuz Lord knows the Republicans won't.
BUT, there are large portions of Iraq that have been stabilized, and I think that these latest attacks are a clear indication that these "insurgent" elements simply don't want elections in Iraq. They've beheaded aid workers and have executed Iraqi election workers. They've killed all types of muslims, and routinely fire bomb the tiny Christian/Catholic sects in Iraq. I'd imagine that if there were any Jews dumb enough to be in Iraq right now, they'd probably be dead.
These aren't freedom fighters who merely detest American occupation. These are Syrians, Jordanians, and yes, Iraqis who don't want the boat rocked. But I think we need to be careful about what it is they fear-- it's not globalization, or capitalism, or jingoism, or ismism, but rather, it's freedom. And Max.....freedom is on the march.

Okay, I went overboard.....
