Here is an excellent commentary on Iraq (from someone on the ground):
Message 20048439

Excerpt:
FISK: The British occupation in Iraq took three years to fail between 1917 and 1920.

It took us, the British, three years to unite the Shiites and the Sunnis ....... It's quite an achievement - the Americans have managed to unite the Shiites and the Sunnis against them in just one year.

chinu. Thanks for the history but I had done a pretty good amount of reading on the subject and was aware of the history you posted. But a refresher never hurts.

As for Iraq...civil war is certainly a real possibility

Do you think that sadams rule with minority sunni's was a better way and maybe should have been left alone?
