Quote by: Scribbler1 It is sad, but not surprising. I hope the author of the first piece doesn't consider events there something new. It became a civil war the minute insurgents started slaughtering civilians instead of our soldiers. In fact, all indications are it would have been a civil war a LONG time ago if they didn't have a dictator running things.
The Sunnis and Shiites DESPISE each other and have hated each other for decades, if not a century or more. The historians knew it so even if the Clod in Chief didn't know it his advisers should have known it too. But it is obvious they never considered it, so they removed the only government they knew and replaced it with NOTHING. After all these years, the "government" in place now is useless and the killings go on. |

His dad knew, but then he was in intellegence. Son has none. Be charitable and blame alcohol.
