Obviously I cannot give you a number, are you expecting me to say 14,522,086 Iraqis want a fundamentalist islamic government? However, take into account the effectiveness of the IRA and the frequency of their attacks. Consider the effectiveness of the French resistance. Think about the numbers who supported each cause. It is impossible for such a lengthy and large scale insurgency to operate effectively without considerable support from the civilian population. I don't need to count the raindrops to know I am getting wet.

You made a statement indicating "a large number" where did this "large number" you speak of come from?

Watching the news.

Have you proof or a link on this statement that so many Iraqis want FIG?

The history of Iraq over the last four years makes it fairly obvious.

If you quote "numbers,quantities" you should be able to support it with a link or some proof,that's all I'm saying,proof

The proof is the situation on the ground. Does anyone at all think for a second that were the troops to leave now there would be anything other than a bloody civil war? Given that around 65% of Iraqis are Shia compared with around 20% Sunni and 15% Kurds and given that the Shia are heavily supported by Iran, it doesn't take much to work out what kind of government there would be following a civil war.
