Like most things, it changes depending on how you look at it. For example, BBKing complains that it is safe to vote in fewer than half of Iraq (let's say 40%?). Well, isn't that 40% more than in 2001 which to mark me is a marked improvement over 0% in 2001

Let's not go back into the cycle of wether the war was just or not. It has been done to death. It is a subjective issue and so there can never be a conclusion. Every issue has been comprehensively covered.

I do think though, the insurgents aren't solely Iraqis. Back in the early days maybe but not now. More Iraqis die now than foreign soldiers. The insurgents (sorry, I mean revolutionaries and minutemen) think nothing of executing dozens of members of the new Iraqi security force. If it is Iraqis protesting American imperialism, then surely Americans would face the brunt of the attacks. Iraq is the excuse for Islamic fantatics to practice their perverted version of Islam, by slaughtering en masse innocent Iraqis, fundamentalists from the Iran/Shia side, and Syria/Sunni side.
