I think both of you make equally valid points regarding the new Iraqi forces, but I have to say that fighting Iraqi's that kill innocents would not be the same as the wholesale slaughter visited on the innocent in the 90's.
It's great that they've learned a lesson, but now they've gone from one ridiculous extreme to the other. They've gone from killing any and everyone they are told and dumping their bodies in mass graves, to refusing to fight those who do those things.
They say they won't fight fellow Iraqis, but I wonder if they would fight anyone from the Middle East. The Iraqis have to stand up to the challenge, even when it isn't pleasant.
