Bush kicked who’s ass?
He had us fight Sunnis on behalf of Shias ... two religious factions that have been fighting each other for over 1000 years.

That’s not kicking ass That’s taking sides in a religious civil war that we should not be taking any part.

The question I want to know is WHY? Why do we care which faction of Islam wins out in any particular region? Is there that much of a difference? What is it to us?

If you read history both Sunni and Shia have been equally brutal to each other over the many centuries. Bagdad alone has been sacked and re-sacked dozens of times. Ditto other major cities in the Middle East. Sometimes the Sunnis are on top and sometimes Shias are on top.

What does it matter to us?
