Yet, Most Americans will likely view it as a unilateral victory, without noticing that the larger part of the dual purpose battle was to lock in Sunni Islam and their final stranglehold on the world.

I'm saddened as much as astounded at how many conservatives still know very little about the difference between Shi'a and Sunni, or minimize its import.

When Desert Storm broke, the reporters showed such ignorance of military matters, yet they had all of Desert Storm to prepare. I feel like many in the conservative movement are as bad as the MSM was then.

Actually they had since the 1979 Iranian revolution.

That's like not knowing the differences in Christianity between Roman Catholics and Protestants.

I can see you know more about this than I. You correctly wrote ‘Shi’a’ and I incorrectly wrote Shiite. I book Avi Lipkin and Walid Shoebat (former terrorist, now a Christian) on talk shows to help get their message out. They are the experts. I fall into the category of ‘a little knowledge is a dangerous thing’ to some degree in this matter.
