http://www.islamfortoday.com/shia.htm i believe that much of the violence isn't so much Civil, but perhaps, rather a historical family feud..

being a 1300 year old family feud over power and control.. both sides will become blood enemies in perpetuity, if we are very very careful not to piss off either side by being an invading force and a threat to both..

it is time to withdraw and let them settle it on their own. i once witnessed a friend but in on a family argument once.. it was not a pretty sight. they all turned on me also, simply because i was associated with him.

i think we need to consider other possibilities of dealing with this conflict outside of the NeoCon Fascist Box it we are going effectively deal with this festering quagmire our Wet Brain Drug Addict AWOL Draft Dodger pResident and his puppet masters have gotten us into.

2. One way...
But imagine if the US did get all Iraqis to unite against it in a common national cause?

It seems nobody's quite that keen to end the fratricide.

Face it. We instigated this "civil war."
