Why the meh? Its clear you already have a bias against them from past posts here, and the fact that most are Muslim only probably adds your lack of care for anything about them.
Does "meh" mean you don't care? Does it mean you don't think its a problem? Why not be a little more specific

I personally find this problematic. We talk about letting the country get back on its own feet, we talk about creating a democracy [ironically, once which seems to be forced at this point], we talk on and on about what needs to be done in Iraq to be successful...
yet an exodus of professionals is NOT a good thing, and displacing 8% of your population is even crappier. It sounds like those who ARE able to get away from the carnage DO get away...
How much diluded can we be about the massive problems concering Iraq?
It reminds me of the time I spoke with a CEO of a defense company (a massive reagan fan...) last July who told me that "I predict, within the next six months, the insurgency will entirely fade away...and things will be better" OH RLY???!?!?! He also said China was going to be the world's factory, India was going to have all the engineers, and we would own all the patents
