Thoughts - What's Going on in Iraq?

Robert Risk, on Lateline tonite, made an interesting observation about the looming civil strife in Iraq. He argued that the we need to "question the narrative" currently coming out of Iraq and question "is it real?" or at least, to think about things more broadly.

So who is pulling the strings? Robert seemed to be arguing that the Coalition Forces are driving the insurgency. That it is they who are paying the death squads in an effort to encourage a Civil War. But why? Then it dawned on me - pull out.

If Iraq was to fall into civil conflict, it may infact give the Americans a reason to leave. Why stay and stand in the way?
