I agree, Red Moon.
The divide in Iraq is about to get much bigger.

The US forces in Iraq need to stop trying to bind the nation together - it won't happen in a million years. They need to focus more on keeping tyranny away from Iraq, while acknowledging different belief systems within Shia and Shi'ite strongholds. (As you mention, prisoners being tortured and killed without a right to a fair trial).
