The more the UN and Europeans shoulder the burden of the war, the easier it 
is for the U.S. to scale back its commitment and have a significant fraction 
of "the boys" back home by next fall.  The whole point of targeting UN 
people and auxiliary (oops, I mean allied) forces is, it deters the 
international community from backing the U.S.  The insurgents want to make 
sure the whole burden is borne by the Anglo-Americans, and they pay the 
political cost for it at home.
