Don't confuse cause and effect about coalition troops attracting violence

Tom Brosz — 9/30/2004 3:36:18 AM (archived)

The troops tend to go where the trouble is as well as vice versa. It's not that clear cut.

What's clearly obvious is that we have a Sunni problem, with the notable exception of the Sadr situation. But the latter seems to have died down, at least for the time being. Iraqi bloggers have noted that the Sadr and Sunni attackers seem to take turns. Not sure why.

    - If you look closely there's a couple of mountain tops in the Kurd area that havent been attacked either. (n/t) - Tony - 9/29/2004 8:28:28 PM
      - Bet there's not much going on below sea-level, either. - alcaray - 9/29/2004 9:30:57 PM

        Getting close, but even the "no fly zone" arrangement would have qualified. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 10/2/2004 8:01:40 PM
        
        I think thaty something like the no-fly zone should qualify, don't you? - alcaray - 10/4/2004 5:22:18 PM
        
        Interesting. - Tom Brosz - 10/4/2004 9:31:43 PM
