Orca. You said....."The Sunni, ousted militarily by the US, are still thinking that they can control the country...through guerilla warfare. They don't want to give up the wealth and power and self determination they had...and are still clinging on to.

It's a tribal thing.
".....

If it's a tribal thing why do the sunnis commit suicide in bomb filled cars and scream god is great as they detonate themselves and murder many innocent people. If it's only a tribal thing what is the reward for the suicide killers...I mean they are dead so what do they believe will be their reward in return for their life?

I suggest to you that it is a religious thing as each of these killers are referred to as martyr's by the rest of their kind...no different in my mind than the arab moslum kids who strap bombs on themselves and go out and commit murder in the name of their god.

I think if it were tribal the sunnis would likely try and stay alive to enjoy their victory.
