[news] Pacifying Iraq: Insugrent Scenarios

[Mostly Water - mostlywater.org = news.resist.ca]

The notion that the American military occupation can silence the armed resistance...is arrogant folly. The claim that the Sunni minority is too small to defy the Shiite-Kurdish majority is the premise of the occupation. But surveys show that two-thirds of Iraqis favor a near-term US withdrawal. Many Shiites, like the rebellious followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, are Arab, not Persian, and favor a unified Iraq. In addition, the Sunni minority will be supplemented by Sunnis from neighboring countries if their existence is threatened.
