1) There is no evidence that any religious and ethnic tension existed in Iraq prior to the invasion. The current strife is only as old as the Baathist regime which tried to subjegate the Shiite majority in favor of the minority Sunnis.2) The military is not capable of securing the country. But they could be. If the rules of engagement were made less restricitve and they were allowed to do what it really takes to truly subjegate the country, they could. In my view we have a choice. Either we leave the country and let the people decide through genocide or we use our strength to clamp down and pacify the country in the tradition of geniune conquest.There's a valid reason we are "EXPORTING" oil to them. Most of the Middle East lacks the capacity to "REFINE" the oil they produce. It comes out of their ground, goes to our refineries and is shipped back for their markets. It's a pretty shady arrangement, frankly. But then, I guess that's what we're fighting over.
