>>>can you let us know why the Sunnis have a long history of killing and hating their own Muslim brothers the Shiites?? <<<

these are two contradictory schisms. we have nothing comparable to this western religions. This is not a live and let live situation.

That why Bush's idea of a peaceful democracy to Iraq is rubbish. If a majority rules in a Democracy, then it means that the majority can eliminate the minority. (in Iraq)

The Sunni's have two choices in Iraq...1) they can migrate out of the country (to Iran or Syria). 2) They can intensify the civil war in Iraq, with (military) help from other Sunnis.

These problems were well known when Iraq was formed into a geographic country by the British after WW1. Iraq used to be part of the Ottoman empire.
