I see........Petraeus and the US have done what no one else has done in over 1000 years.....bring peace between the Sunnis and Shia.

You left out George W. Bush. But sure, that's precisely what is happening in Iraq. It takes time, and it may not last, but for the time being, it is an excellent development.

Last year, it started off slowly --

mnf-iraq.com

Last week, it continued --

news.bbc.co.uk

The entire Sunni/Shia "hatred" has always been overstated by you guys. In early 07, before the surge, you were all about the "Sunni Shia Divide".

These people can see where their interests lie. We may leave Iraq and they may get at each other again, I don't know. But I can tell you that it isn't what you believe it is there. I talk to someone who is THERE on a daily basis. It is still a dangerous place. But what you have seen on the news in no way coincides with the facts of the situation.
