The primary reason for the high level of violence is this: Al-Qaeda has ratcheted up its campaign of high-profile attacks."

There is plenty of evidence that there was ZERO connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq before our invasion. The group calling itself "Organization for the Foundation of the Holy Struggle in Mesopotamia", which has been dubbed "Al Qaeda in Iraq" by the administration and the media, has only tenuous connections to the actual Al Qaeda, having been founded by al-Zarqawi, who is known to never have been Al Qaeda. What we've got here is ANOTHER bald-faced lie.

What's also blisteringly arrogant and swallowed whole by so many Americans is the concept that the civil struggle in Iraq is all about the people out to "get us."
