So Iraq is 'safe' except for that Sunni triangle?
I think that is an over-simplification.

Are these terrorists any different than the warlords and tribal leaders we armed in Afghanistan against the USSR in the 80's?

Problem with occupiers is that in the long run 'rebels' win. ie. Vietnam
The NVA had no problem killing foreigners or South Vietnamese including children.
We like the French lost, and lost a lot of American lives for what?
