It's interesting and probably correct for the most part, from what I've seen elsewhere.

I also think the 1920's war on al Q, that started in April, will give the other groups a choice other than al Q, to rally behind. A choice that's truly for Iraq.

There have been a number of cities that have been under al Q control for awhile and are very unhappy with the brutality. Wholesale murders and cutting off peoples hands for smoking in public, is not the way to win friends and influence people. This is the same thing the people of Afghanistan discovered under al Q's strict islamic control.

Of course defeating al Q is only the first step of many, but at least it's a step toward an independent and maybe even semi-secular nation.
