n.— «The key to stability is regaining the support of Iraq’s silent majority—the long-suffering, secular-minded Sunnis and Shias referred to by some U.S. and British intelligence analysts as the POIs, which is short for “pissed-off Iraqis.” These POIs are angry at American occupation, and they want it to end.» —“What Bush Can Do To Salvage Iraq” by David Ignatius Washington Post Nov. 5, 2004.
