Where would the Russian mafia be if communism had fallen without any police (KGB) or army to maintain order? Iraq as created by George Jr suggests an answer to that question.

Once smart Iraqis are fired from their jobs as police, utility operators, and other essential functions (for being Baath party members), then where do those people go to seek their income and food? If banned from legal employment, then what is left? Criminal employment - robbery, fencing, munition sales, buglary, smuggling, or fighting for nationalism against an occupying power. Many agendas that all get blamed by George Jr as having connnections to al Qaeda. A major disconnect exists between what is happening in Iraq verses what a mental midget president portrays it.
