From the NY Times. An Iraqi perspective. You guys can argue all you want, but what matters is what the Iraqis think.
A prominent Sunni Muslim cleric, meanwhile, condemned a suicide attack on Wednesday that killed more than two dozen people in Baghdad, including many children, but he blamed their deaths on the U.S.-led ''occupation'' that has ''destroyed the country.''
Sheik Ahmed Abdul Ghafour al-Samarrai, a moderate cleric in the influential Association of Muslim Scholars, described the attack as a crime against ''newborn children and young boys ... who went to God complaining about people's injustice.''
''What is the guilt of those children? Who permitted this act?'' the white-turbaned al-Samarrai asked. ''The occupation that destroyed the country and turned things upside down is responsible for that.''
