::nod:: it's a divided country. Getting back to my original point though, Canada muddles through even though there are these undercurrents. By analogy, we do not need to solve every single problem in Iraqi society before we get out, merely make sure that there is a mechanism in place that can fairly address them.

I don't agree with it but I understand it. These are people who have been discriminated against who see the pendulum swinging in the other direction and they gain a voice in the affairs of their own culture. I don't excuse the intemperate things that have been said, but they are the result of a lot of pent up resentment against some very real inequities.
