SINOPHIL:
"Much of the violence was suppressed because the US army paid the local militias to stop fighting and help keep down the killings. They have no loyalty to the US.
As soon as our troops depart, violence will explode w/ a vengeance. The surge has only covered it up temporarily"
Bingo. We're paying mercenaries to stay indoors. But they have no allegiance to the Iraq government or to the U.S. government. As soon as the money dries up and they are being paid by Muslim extremist groups, they will re-initiate the violence -- maybe in Iraq or maybe in Afghanistan.
