Don't confuse the Bedouins of SA with all Arabs.

OK.

In SA, there are tribes of Bedouins. In Iraq, there are Sunnis, Kurds and Shia.......not tribes.

I still stand by my point. Shias from one region of Iraq are not all that concerned about Shias that they have never met from another region. The idea that all the Shias in Iraq are going to revolt because Fallujah is going up in smoke is wrong.

I imagine the peaceful Shias in Iraq are happy as can be that the "insurgent/nutcase/suicide bomb planners" are getting killed in Fallujah.

That isn't really true. There are tribe and clan like structures in Iraq. I know in some of the Sunni areas they are rather important. I don't know how prominent they are among the Shia and the Kurds.
