Foreigners who are there to attack us, DT, not the Iraqis. Foreigners who wouldn't be there if we weren't there. You are right that the Sunnis and Shiites are sick of their people being killed. What they are sick of is their people being killed because our presence there gave these nutjobs the excuse they needed to come into their country. We are fighting a war with Al-Queida, on Iraqi soil. Al-Queida is not in Iraq to take over Iraq. They are there to fight us. It's true that the Sunnis and Shiites have been killing each other for centuries. No doubt they will go back to doing that as soon as we are gone. It will be a problem for the Iraqi government to deal with it, as it should be.
