It is important to know your enemy whether you wish to kill them or negotiate with them. This enemy appears confident, meticulous, and cell oriented. It also seems to have a steady stream of volunteers.

It will not be possible to defeat this enemy if 2/3 of the people support them without resorting to genocide or dictatorship. An important question is, is that number simply a bluff by persons tooting their own horn?

It might be telling that the new Iraqi leadership has made grumblings about martial law already.
