...and you think that the insurgency in insignificant? "Boohoo", only 1 in 1000 are crazy enough to kill at random? Get a grip.

Well call me crazy, but I'm not going to let a fringe faction comprising less then 1 percent of the total population scare me. And I didn't call them insignificant, I just said I didn't consider them legitimate because 1) they comprise less then 1% of the population 2) they are ex-baathists 3) Sunni's who can't come to grips that their run is over 4) Lunatics like Al-Sadr 5) Terrorists like Ansar Al-Islam (Iraqi) 6) And foregin terrorist like Al Qaeda and Zarqawi trying to impose their radical doctrine on the people of Iraq.
On the other hand some of them valid beef, but at this point they should buck up and start working within the system, killing Americans and their own country men isn't doing them any good and is only prolonging our presence there.
