LOL The outside government I was refering to was Iran and possibly Syria. They seem to want civil war between the Shi'a and the Sunnis. The Shi'as were oppressed under Saddam by the Sunnis so there is a human tendency to settle the score. Iran is mostly Shi'a and would like to see Iraq with the same style of religious dictatorship as they have. It's been suggested that Iran has been funding the Al-Qaida terrorists in Iraq which in turn has been trying to fuel a civil war in order to undermine the government.
I want America out of Iraq but, I think it can't happen until the elected government there is strong enough to protect itself. When enough military and police are trained and equiped America should leave. Al-Qaida will find
it harder to recruite whenever there is no longer a western presence.
