Bush did Iraq a huge favor when he liberated them from Saddam Hussein.

Too bad they aren't civilized enough to take advantage of it.

Is it possible that these people are just savages and incapable of being civilized?

The Sunni’s don’t take lightly to being second-in-command. In a country where they’re outnumbered, they’re being VERY stupid.

Sunni vs. Shia/muslim vs. infidel is their civilization.
