>>the exiles spent a good portion of the time explaining to the president that there are two kinds of Arabs in Iraq, Sunnis and Shiites.<<

Do you suppose that the President did not know that there are both Sunni and Shi'a, or that he did not know the details about the differences between the two in Iraq?

In light of the fact that he must have been told umpteen times in his life, including while he was merely the son of President Bush I, that this Sunni group is fighting this Shi'a group, I doubt it was the former.

But it must be entertaining to think that you are telling the President something he never knew.

And for those who sneer, I trust you can explain the difference between Iraqi Sunni and Shi'a, and how they differ from those in other countries. I can't.

BTW, nice to come back to see everybody playing together so well.
