Wil's Rant

According to this report, the Shiites want the Americans to wipe out the Sunnis and vice a versa. I have no doubt that this is true. Perhaps a new strategy might be possible because of this fact. Maybe the Americans could use this desire as leverage when dealing with the two side and get them both to put the terrorists in their sites as opposed to the Americans and each other. Of course, this strategy would require that the Americans have some credibility, and Bush et. al. have done precious little to gain that. Add to this fact that very few others now want to get involved with the mess that Rumsfeld has made of the situation. Many consider it a lose-lose scenario. So where to from here? I suspect that in the end it is the Iraqi people who will continue to pay the price for the American leaders incompetence.
