You're totally right. The great majority of people being killed are Iraqis being killed by Iraqis. Whether the killers are Shia or Sunni, whether they are insurgents or militia they are all Muslim so why are they killing their own. Why are they being misled by their so-called spiritual leaders? Don't they realise that if a suicide bomber from either side both blow up a crowd of innocents they're not going to meet each other in heaven.
To the people of Iraq I would say don't question your faith, question your leaders who, because of sectarian differences, feel that some Muslims are more expendable than others.

A difficult question to answer as it is a sensitive issue.

Yes more civilians are killed in Iraq by their fellow Iraqi's.

We did not go to war for the oil, we went to war to prevent Saddam using weapons of mass distruction (OK they were not found), but the threat was there and he'd said he'd use them.

Regime change and oil being opened up to the markets are benefits of going to war.

You are right we need to secure the region and make it safe for the ordinary people of Iraq.

I did not support the 1991 as a teenager I was opposed to violence of this kind, I probably had the same thoughts then, as the hundreds of thousands of protestors in 2003.

But by 2003 I was able to make a judgemnt based on the evidence available and have been a frim supporter of the war and will support the allied troops and the actions of the allied countries all the time they are in Iraq.

Lets keep up the work to secure Iraq for it's future generations!!!

1. Who killed the 600,000 plus Iraqis is not the point. The point is that they are dead as a result of the war.

2. Pulling out the "allied" forces may not save any lives at this point. It might be too late. But there is a chance that removing this agitation from the country could allow the peace process to proceed without the problem of who is and who is not cooperating with the invading army.

3. This was an oil grab. Period. Just because the people running the war were too incompetent to secure the oil fields does not mean that oil was not the motivation.

The invasion of Iraq was a pointless exercise,(as was the one in the nineties by his dad).
This 'war' will never be over, even if/when the allies are withdrawn.
The residents of Iraq don't want the allies in there country, as you can tell when they throw stones and burn the armoured vehicles who are sent there to try and help them.
You see the Iraqi's cheering and dancing with joy when ever an allied vehicle is destroyed. This is not the reaction from people who are happy being help.
When will all governments involved in this 'war' realise that some countries people simply don't want to be helped.....
Pull the allied troops out and let the Iraqi's deal with there own future.....that's what they want so let them get on with it.

People would do well to remember that the Government knows 100 times more than they can say.

Did your parents tell you lies to protect you from the big bad world. Of course they did. you can't hear certain things when a child cos they would frighten you to death.

Same goes only your an adult now and think you can handle the truth. i suggest you couldn't.

The invasion of Iraq had many agendas one was to send a message to the middle east and Arab world that the West would not stand by and have feeble threats fired at it. (Saddam stated he had weapons of MD).

Now that lesson has been learned by not only the Arab world but France and other Europeans, we can also let them know we are never stretched enough to back away from a conflict of righteousness.

Iran will be next and we can let China deal with Korea for the time being.

Iraq brought this upon themselves years and years ago, they allowed a dictator ship to happen.

We would not let the state have total control of votes etc would we? They did and now their descendants are paying the price.

Go to http://finance.yahoo.com , and look at the share price over the last few years for the big oil companies. They have certainly benefitted, even if their customers haven't. Coincidentally, Bush's mates are from the oil companes. Funny that.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that pulling the coalition forces out immediately is going to save Iraqi lives, but it is sensible to demand a roadmap which lays out the conditions for withdrawl, and as our troops are providing a focus for attacks, withdrawing them sooner rather than later will withdraw this focus. What percentage of attacks are actually for collaborating with the coalition, what percentage are settling tribal scores but are claimed to be anti-coalition, and what percentage are openly tribal, I don't have figures on, but sending more troops to be killed and hoping things will get better isn't really much of a strategy.

The point is that there would not be an insurgency/civil war/suicide bombers if the illegal invasion had not taken place.
The US administration will only allow a puppet govt to eventually take command in Iraq.That's when the oil deals will be made.And guess who will get those deals!

Its a question of if we did not invade for false reasons, would they have been killed. Thats the question the authors ask and how did you lose 55,000 people? You lost that many and you are not Bush?

it style of feels to me that notwithstanding the question is formally 'why are Muslims killing their fellow Muslims in Iraq', there's a subtext question approximately 'why imams do no longer challenge fatwas for terrorists'? The assessment between clerics inviting actual believers to kill people who're accused of disrespecting the prophet, and the loud silence concerning people who kill, even their fellow muslims. maybe there's a 'technical' reason, like the imams are basically to be issuing fatwas the place there would not exist already regulations and codes of habit..if a courtroom and the judicial device incorporates rules for shooting and punishing murderers, then you definately do no longer ought to challenge a fatwa on it, and so on. yet i ask your self the comparable and want it have been diverse. I wish there have been some brave muslim clerics who could come out and say that this killing 'interior the call of Islam' ought to end. specific there are civil wars and that the tensions in Iraq are approximately better than in simple terms the kind of Islam the factions enroll in. yet i could assume that if there have been a thorough team or communities killing interior the call of Christ that Christian clerics could come out and ask for the cooperation of Christians in finishing this. i could quite want to work out examples to edify me, yet to this point as I understand, there hasn't been very lots of an clerical attempt to denounce in a huge way the acts of people who declare to be doing jihad as area of islam. i could like to work out clerics come out and say that actual jihad could be making peace, could be showing the worldwide how islam is a super reliable faith, could be protest without violence or some such spin. that must be constructive.
