yes there are still continued bombings, but it is not nearly at the rate it was. i know for one if my town was being wasted like bagdad or beirut, i would have split along time ago. how do you conduct bizness? everyday needs, etc. when bombs are going off everywhere?
with more manpower in bagdad things will settle down. no different than law enforcement here laying down DUI checkpoints, after a couple high profile weekends NOBODY will drive drunk in that area. same goes for bad guys planting bombs. they will find some other means to raise hell granted, but it will not be in the more populaced areas.
bottom line ..........despite being republican - democrat-liberal (something im sure the GI's are arguing about daily in their tanks humvees and strykers) WE ARE THERE! and we are NOT LEAVING SOON! until unrest is quelled. sure i would love to have sunnis and shiites go for each others throats once and for all and may the better side win. at the cost of no american lives. but that would just lead to more infrastructure destoyed and we would end up rebuilding it any way as a humanitarian gesture.
