True the different tribes of Sunnis don't have different cultures. Its a very extended family structure, including people so distant that in America you wouldn't consider them to be related. But in Iraq it can be considered important to stand up for your family/tribe/clan (whatever term you would like to us). There are Bedouin tribes in Iraq as well but they are few in number compared to the main groups (from largest to smallest) Iraqi Arab Shias, Iraqi Arab Sunnis, Kurds and Turkmen. Tim
