Armed insurgents aren't the only problem...

...and they may not be the biggest problem we have in Iraq. Via Body & Soul, this excerpt from the LA Times, which spoke to Bessam Jarrah, a surgeon, working with the Islamic League of Medical Professionals. (as usual, my emphasis)

""In the first months of the occupation, we, the educated people, thought America would show us a humanitarian way, a political way, to solve problems," Jarrah said. "But this use of force means the efforts to find a political solution for Iraq has failed, and now America is using Saddam's approach to problems: brute force.

"America won the war on April 9 last year; they lost the war on April 9 this year. That is what Iraqis feel."

Actually, I don't know exactly what date America lost Bessam Jarrah, but that may be the day we really lost the war...
