Iraq: Out of the desert into Mosul (closed)

[AmericanPride]

See AP this is exactly why you are so often off base to the point of hanging onto the aged idea of negotiations which is suppose to solve everything.

Where did I state that negotiations "solve everything"?

---but I guess it goes to the fact that you never served in Iraq either in the military or as a civilian.

Really go back and fully understand Khomeini and his Green Crescent expansionism of Shiaism. Go back and fully understand the Iraq/Iran war from 80/88 as an attempt by the Sunni's to reign in that Shia expansionism by Khomeini.

This is indeed a Sunni Shia clash and that is what is behind the regional hegemony infighting.

That schism is really a pretext by superficial Western analysts like yourself to excuse any effort at building a rigorous understanding of the problems of the region and the states within it. And since we've been busy since 2003 implementing a strategy on the basis of this myth, we've helped actually make it a reality. What's behind the regional hegemony infighting is an unstable regional security system heavily penetrated by outside actors (namely the U.S.) complicated by the large concentration of fairly weak states.

I did not state that it has "nothing to do with religion". You should really spend more time investing in your education because if you had, then you would not be mistating other people's comments.
