I recently dug up a Venn diagram I made a few years ago to explain the nuances of the Iraqi insurgency, lost as a broken link during a blog software change:
"IIG" refers to the Iraqi Interim Government, previous secularly oriented, government. I thought it would be good to pull this old analysis image out of rememberances of things past just to get an idea of where and how the players have moved, if at all. Since the situation in Iraq continues to be tense, it's nice to try to put a perspective on what some of the groups and their representatives say.
