Can't say as I blame them
As long as we try to get the Iraq Army to send Shia troops into Sunni neighborhoods and Sunni Troops into Shia neighborhoods we are going to have problems making them an effective army.
People have differences and often never resolve their issues but can learn to tolerate each other.
Look at the Protestants and Catholics in Ireland.
Ain't it the truth, polishifter---
But, it's too much trouble for Bush to try to figure out the nuances of dealing with issues in the middle east.
Like using loaded words such as 'Crusades'.

Well, their only furreners, after all.
