Very little history.......
and very little relevance to the issues addressed in the post.
I suppose as an apologist for the Bush travesties you should boast about the great job Bush is doing for the unification of the Islamic peoples.
Why Bush has united Baathist, Druse, Shiite, Sunni, and will probably work on the Kurds next. Tribes that have been at war with each other since the death of Muhammed suddenly have a single enemy--us.
Wow, is Bush doing a Greeeat job!
