How is that in any way similar to deliberately giving blacks syphilis and not treating them at the Tuskegee Institute? Your example was only relevant if your were arguing (a) that we should have killed those responsible for Miss Ever's Boys, or (b) that it was okay to give the men syphilis. Neither was what you were arguing though. So your analogy didn;t hold water.

You are assuming that the insurgency has popular support. I don't think it does. I think the majority of the people hate the insurgents in the Sunni areas. And in the Shiite areas they are almost overwhelmingly hated and in the Kurdish areas they have no support.

I don't think that's true. Cite, please.
