Easy-bake Insurgency, some ingredients not included.

[catsidhe]

You want to know how to create and encourage an insurgency?

What you do is:

• separate boys from their families
  
• keep those boys poor, uneducated, dependant on grudging charity and resentful
  
• for extra kicks, let them know how well those members of their family who were allowed to leave the country access a semblance of civility are doing
  
• make sure that they know how thoroughly screwed they really are
  
• wait.

But no, that can't be right? Everyone knows that the insurgency is all Al Qa'eda and the Iranians, don't they?

Don't the Iraqis know how much America has sacrificed to make them poor, hungry and in continual fear for their lives free? Don't they care?
