Michael,

He said nothing like that at all. He just asked you to get real

Don' tell me to get "real".. Sam claimed that the Shi'a-Sunni rift had gotten worse.. But pal, IT WAS HELLISH BEFORE UNDER SADDAM!!!

Or do you all want to conveniently forget that Saddam's regime committed one of the largest acts of environmental terrorism by draining the Iraqi marshes.. All so he could slaughter the Shi'a.. And don't forget the Kurds.. We had to declare no-fly zones in Iraq to prevent the Iraqi airforce from wholesale slaughter of refugees.

So don't tell me about "rifts" Michael. The situation in Iraq, violent as it is at times, is a HELL OF A LOT BETTER for the majority of Iraqis than it was under Saddam.

And if you want to discuss "see no evil", then you need to look in the mirror Pal!! Because you want to see Sunni-Shi'a rifts become "inflamed", then just pull out the US forces and see what "inflamed" really means...

You don't know the definition of "inflamed"..
