This whole radical Islam problem goes back to Carter getting rid of the Shaw of Iran. Brings in a radical Cleric and the cancer moved forward.

Later Clinton refuses to capture or kill a Bin Laden who already declared war on the USA. Had Laden several times, but his timidity and lack of will gave us 911 and the lack of Clinton response has caused us to fight a war on terror with thousands dead.

Not shock and awe, more like stupid and timid.

The Shiites wouldn't be that much of a problem if it weren't for the most radical faction of "twelvers" being in control. They are a danger because they believe that its their duty to usher in the Mahdi which is basically Armageddon. (Which drives their desire to destroy Israel)

Aside from the twelvers, Shiites don't have near the expansionist sentiments of the Sunnis and generally don't blow themselves up. I wouldn't want to live in a Shia world but a world without Sunnis would be a whole lot better.
