“I don’t think we moved too quickly,” General Caldwell said of putting the Iraqis in charge of Baghdad. “I don’t think anyone could have anticipated the sectarian violence.”
Does anyone really believe the sectarian violence couldn't have been anticipated?
I'm no General, I only know what I see in the media, but even I guessed there was going to be a civil war in Iraq, may I should take over?

The truth is that before we went into Iraq most military strategists did anticipate the violence, we were just to busy with our freedom fries to notice. The media does like to show tragedy over success, but to be fair there isn't much success to report. The only thing we really accomplish is killing the occasional highly visible enemy.
The president wants us to do the wave every time a new hospital is built in Iraq, but I got news for him, the construction of public services infrastructure is not a military objective. It's not worth that many American lives. The media spins it both ways. I'm not the smartest man in the world, but it seems like the media does have alot of positive material to report, but they probably wouldn't report all of it anyway. With so many people against the war CNN isn't going to go against the tide and paint a smiley face on things. People know that if they want it, they can find that stuff on Fox News.

Iraq belongs to the natives.
It's not so much the help it receives, but in the context it is publicised.
Iraqi's don't have objection to outside help at heart, but they do take offence to people saying things like "We run Iraq".
Every nation population is proud of their own country. The best way to help is to be subtle about it.

I know one thing for sure... that there was, once upon a time, a country called Iraq, with police and army and govermental dept., harsh or not, fair or not, prosperous or not, does not matter. but when USA came from as far as 5000 miles to Iraq and destroyed it and tossed it upside-down. there is no rule but jungle rules, not enforcement but war-lords.
How easy is your answr, but how hard and misreable is the people's life in Iraq.
your question is dealing with Iraqi people on video game and PC game. and who asked the yankees to come in the first place!!??

It is Americans who come with the sactarian along with them and as soon as they leave, they will go with it along with them. If you can be able to judge things well, before the invasion such a things are not happening. It could be better for US to move out of Iraq for things to stablised.

The media only shows you what they want you to see.

don't think no one expected the terrorist needing to hang on so
if the retreated it would have been to Iran and Syria .this would have been a collapse not expansion
