The Sunni’s are walking a fine line. If they brand themselves as terrorist – whether it be a small tiny group doing these attacks – the majority may trample all of their rights and it may possibly escalate into some sort of Sunni cleansing via death squads. America will not be around to protect them.

This was going to be the “model of modern Middle Eastern democracy,” according the the govenment of the U.S. a decade ago. Unfortunately, nobody read any history of the last 100 years AND the British who were so much a part of that history kowtowed to the great Texan while he was clearing the brush in Texas and in Baghdad. When will we read the history of the Middle East of the past 4000 years? When will we learn that WE cannot alter what is not our culture? When?
