I didn't do that, but you tried to atrtribute that to me, to no avail.

Your non sensical counter...is to no avail. I did not imply anything...you made your own implication.

There are an estimated low tens of thousands that are killing Americans...now killing more of their own people than Americans are. These fighters are foreign fighters...former Baathist party members (more than a few that if caught will have to stand trial)...fighters who are loyal to one or two Ayatolla's (who are trying to gain power for themselves not the country)...and undoubtedly some people that are either loyalists to Saddam/Iraq or have a hatred of Americans for whatever their individual reasons.
The number of insurgents are insignificant compared to the general population...which I understand is around 27 million. Except for a hand full of hot spots which represents a fraction of the country geographically...the general population are going about their daily business.
