ahh, so you really were drawing your sword!! lol... I am not so sure about this, I think that the Shia and the Sunni who are fighting in Iraq kind of forgot about the occupation a while back, dont get me wrong, either side I am sure is happy to kill an american, but I believe that their battle has become almost entirely political at this point. I dont think it will stop until the Sunni's control the government, almost entirely, again. However, without the US occupation, I think the conflict would end quicker than it would with the US there, simply because I think the country would fall into all out civil war and one side would probably dominate the other. Or it could end up like Somalia, I think the future is grim in any direction they take at this point.
