Sadly you have to give things like this time. You can't expect us to instill a democracy similar to our own in a country that is indoctrinated with very different cultures and philiosophies of our own.
For example Afganistan. That place is one tough mother fucking country to hack it in, thats why the warlord mentality still prevails, and I won't even split hairs that we are half assing it. But regardless, culturally these people our polar opposites of everything we are, Iraq isn't even half as bad as Afganistan and look how hard it is.
Give it time.
As far as terrorists/guerilla warfare goes, looks like people there are two very active movements in Iraq. We know for a fact Al Qeada and other branch organizations are there fighting the war against the infidels, this is clear in attacks against civilian targets and the presence of high level officers i.e. Al Zarqawi. Then due to Iraq's central location you get a massive influx of foreign fighter's from Iran, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia.
On top of it we have a popular shiite holed up in one of the most important shrines of one of the most important sects of one of the world's biggest religions, that's a problem. Allah willing we will put him out within the week.
Then outside of pissed off zealot-nationalists, we got Baathists still around. We def. have our work cut out for us.
This is a critical point in Iraq, I just wish people could put politics and their hatred for Bush aside, and yes that is a BIG ISSUE, and rally behind our troops and what we are doing there.
