The Vietnam/Iraq comparison weren't my words, but blunder or no blunder I hope the surge in US troops can at least curb the violence

Correct me if I'm wrong here; but iraqi citizens say that the militias give much more security than the coalition forces, but aren't the militias the major groups threatening the security in the first place?
