I think we owe Ghadaffi some payback for Pan Am 103, but I dont' think that's what's happening here. But I don't think it's a Sunni-Shia thing. GWB, in Iraq and Afghanistan (and Gaza and Eqypt who ignored him) was into a vision of democracy. Perhaps naive, but a vision, aka a policy.
Our current CIC, I haven't a clue. If it's protecting civilians, we've got a big job ahead of us.
Apparently not if they are Christians.
