trying to place matters in perspective . . .

iraq has a population of nearly 25 million people. do these criminals have the real
numbers that equal 250,000 ? hardly.

apart from sadr's forces, the savages in fallujah, and a few other isolated pockets of
concentrated criminal activity, we have a lack of real aggresion and a total absence
of any growing popularity for this type of activity throughout the country.

percentage-wise, we're looking at a tenth of one percent of the total population.
clearly the obvious majority of people do not care to participate in this conduct.
the true majority do care and are quite frustrated with the state of affairs. the
symapthies against americans and for these others is shallow and easily swayable
with hard progress. but this does not - never has - translated into the acquiescence
for lawlessness and the destruction of their country. with the looming transition,
elections, growing infrastructure rebuilding, and trials of major baathist officials
this mood will change.

Isn't that the way it is with the whole world and not just Iraq? That 1% (or fraction thereof) that gives trouble to all the peace loving folk. :p

:roll:
Another "intelligent" response from the "open minded" elitist Bush-haters of America.

Have anything on topic to post? ...didn't think so.

The fact that it is a tiny percentage doesn't change the damage that can be done by them.

True Ed Regan was quite the gentleman and Ronald Reagan wasn't bad on somethings.

this is true. the bolsheviks were a few hundred when the petrograd uprising began, in a country
of over 150 million. 19th century europe is littered with lonely idealists who fought on without
popular support. indeed, fillipo buonoratti, babeuf's memorializer, wrote that popular support
should not be expected and that a revolution should proceed even against the people's wishes
on the grounds that the people - the lumpen commoners that many liberals, even on this board,
disparage - don't understand better and need to be reformed.
