The insurgents are Baathists and Sunnis in Iraq who have as their goal a separate and distinct one of toppling the government that is there and creating their own.

We're seeing the development of tactics in Iraq, such as suicide bombing. Insurgents have been driving cars with explosives into hotels and office buildings. The recruitment may be even more prolific outside Iraq.

Laugh or Weep, Weep or Laugh
Those masks of Comedy and Tragedy
that hang over theatre doors and stages
go back to those two Greek philosophers,
the one, who wept at the follies of mankind,
the other, who laughed at those same follies…
In order to justify the invasion of Iraq
in 2003, on the other grounds to ‘regime change’,
i.e. that Iraq had ‘wep-ma-struc’ in Bush-speak,
the federal government has made public
48,000 boxes of papers captured from Iraq.
These include instructions on how
to make an atomic bomb.

Well, first, the situation in Afghanistan is much better than it was. But there is no comparison between Afghanistan and Iraq. Iraq has a bureaucracy, Iraq has wealth. Iraq has an educated class of people who are positioned to come in and take over.
