The new "cut and run"

The new, well not so new actually, strategy of "blame and run".
Because as any fool can see; the Iraqi people, at least the ones that haven't left the country or died, are clearly not trying hard enough to hold hands and "just get along".
Even the 'blame America first' Democrats are getting in on the action. I think we should start referring to them as the 'blame Iraqis first' crowd instead. Got a good ring to it.

Do the people saying that they are disappointed in the Iraqi people/gov't really think that it is them and not us that dropped the ball? Can we really expect a country with people who have never known peace or anything close to self government to instantly become model citezens, especially while occupied by our military?

I suppose the logic is, after people have the shit bombed out of them, followed by a few months of anarchy, followed by 4 years of continued bombings, lack of basic services/sanitation, living with an occupying army, their advisors mostly incompetents, it must be their fault that there is violence in their country.
