Deja Vu-More Troops are the Answer

Deja Vu- Flashback to 1972- More troops are the answer! Deja Vu- More caualties of a WAR no one wanted to be involved in anymore because the handling of the war from all aspects was a disaster: The Generals at the Pentagon; The President of the United States; The Secretary of Defense; The Ineffectual State Department;
Flash Forward to THE PRESENT- More troops are the answer! More casualties of war are to be expected; Generals are being relieved of duty after they were told they were doing a superb job; Who gets fired for doing a superb job? The President vacillates between the politically correct thing to do and the correct thing to do; The Secretary of Defense is being replaced; The State Department won't even talk about, or consider the facts pertaining to the Islamic undercurrents present in the countries the U.S. has invaded because it would be politically incorrect to do so; Some of the top people at the State Department don't even know the difference between Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims; How can the State Department expect to effectively change a broken society in Iraq if they won't, or can't talk about how Islam is effecting what is going on in the countries of the world that support Islamic fundamentalism?
The Bush Administration has now decided on a (new) course of action to take in Iraq. They are going to add more American troops to the city streets of Baghdad and go neighborhood to neighborhood cleaning out the bad guys (now whether that is armed insurgents or sectarian fighters, either of the Shiite or Sunni way of thinking, is left to the imagination) and then because there will now be enough "boots on the ground", they will be able to remain in the cleaned out neighborhoods, instead of moving on to new locations, as was the policy in the past. The troops left behind will have the job of maintaining the peace and winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people over to the American way of thinking. Isn't that what the State Department is supposed to do? Will the new troops be allowed to enter Sadr City and have the right to go after the major Shiite bad guy, Sadr himself? Or, will they be hamstrung, as before by the Prime Minister? He is a Shiite and he doesn't want American troops going and killing the man who gave him 30 seats of Parliament in order to get him elected. After all, Saddam was a Sunni and did all that killing of Shiites, now that the Shiites are in power, why shouldn't they get a chance to kill some Sunnis here and there?
The problem is going to come in a few months when everyone finally realizes what is blatantly obvious right now, that this debacle has become a civil war with strife between two religious factions, Shiite and Sunni, not to mention the Kurds, and until they get it worked out between them. there will be no way of legitimizing any form of democratic government, much less operating a fully functioning government. And, how many American lives will be lost and how many young men and women will lose body parts and become statistics of this war before the people who are responsible for placing our armed services in harm's way understand that this has become an Iraqi internal problem? No outside influence is going to change the way things go, except for the Islamic factions who legitimize the killing and torture of innocent people and they will continue on their paths of hatred as long as they have strength to do so, Allah willing!
