Al, > I'd like to ask him, in his judgment, how long would the 160K soldiers have to stay until the flames of 14 centuries of suni and shia hatred is quiesced sufficiently to leave a "secure" iraq? IOW, when does this end for the US? No offense, but I wouldn't ask him that. He's a journalist, not a historian nor a future analyst. That's a question for us, not for him, and I think we already have our answers. Tenchusatsu

I'd like to ask him, in his judgment, how long would the 160K soldiers have to stay until the flames of 14 centuries of suni and shia hatred is quiesced sufficiently to leave a "secure" iraq? IOW, when does this end for the US? Al Is there any country you know of which has significant populations of both Sunni and Shiite, in which the hatred is "quiesced sufficiently" to leave a secure country? Could you name any such countries? Countries in which both Sunni and Shia have significant populations would be SA, UAE, Yemen, Pakistan, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and probably a couple others. Do any of those countries manage to have a secure country even though they have a mixed population of Sunni and Shiite?
