Really? I've kind of been under the impression al Quada is Sunni.
You are 100% correct. Hezbullah Shiites just got a leg up starting in 1979 (or 1983, depending on who you believe). The mantra of "it is ALL AQ" has worked pretty well at deflecting any criticism of the poor oppressed majority Shiites. This is why Mookie al-Sadr is still sucking air. The administration lacked the intestinal fortitude to kill the fat b@stard in the cemetery. Even after his own men fragged him.
