Are they intentionally fueling this fire?

This is in our name. We must stop this Administration from what they are doing.

They are doing it to us as well.

1. I think they're doing a good job of killing each other, thus civil
war. But I have no doubt the US is doing its share.

6. We are the ones who control the region. Bush/Cheney are the instigators
The ones who profit are the ones who must keep the murders happening.

9. It's sectarian violence. I think the US troops are trying to stay
out of it. There's not much US troops can do about it.

2. Nah. The folks there are just fighting over
their portions of Freedom Fries.

3. they would not be dying
if not for the actions of this administration. Regardless of who is shooting whom now the blame for the deaths belongs to the WH.

4. If it looks like Negroponte, smells like Negroponte and walks
like Negroponte, then it just might have something to do with our man in Iraq.

5. Sometimes
that thought crosses my mind too.
I wouldn't put it past those twisted fucks.
Do you ever wonder what some of those "security contractors" are up to?

7. Hey, the right people are making big bucks off this war and that's
all that matters.

8. Read an article over the weekend
the insurgents are bombing right around the Green zone.
And anything to do with security, they are aiming for americans.
So to answer your question, I don't know.

10. The US has destabilized the region
Some are dying by our hands directly, others indirectly due to the conditions we've created. The rate of violent deaths went up some 700 people in the past two months to 6,599 Iraqis for the previous two month period.

I don't think it matters if they ever admit it's a civil war or not, they're dying by the thousands and I feel responsible as an American.
