Really. I don't see it as a good sign that the executioners were taunting Sadaam, and the government officials got into an argument with him - or that someone was praising Al Sadr.

Sadaam deserved it and the Shia got their revenge, but you can see the Shia/ Sunni hatred that isn't going away. Interesting that the Moslems hate each other most of all.

Quite possibly the most insightful comment of the year.

Possibly they hate each other the most because that is the way they were raised. There was a book called "The Haj" (sp?). I think it said, "me against my brother,.... my brother and me against our father,....... my brother me and our father against our cousins" and so on through the family. Someone with a better memory than mine might remember it better.

It's not so much that they hate each other, but that they hate work, and love the power to loot and oppress.

The whole struggle between Shia and Sunni comes down to a dispute as to who gets to run things. It's all just a rivalry among thugs.

This does not mean that the Shias and Sunnis cannot join together against the West from time to time (remember the Hitler-Stalin Pact), but the end game for them will be who gets final control over the starving remains
