#1 While I think it was a good idea to go into Iraq, I don't think any of us quite understood how toxic the animosity between the Shia and the Sunni is.

They are tearing a country with enormous potential apart. Obviously they care more about their crazy dispute over the successor to Mohammed than they are about anything else.

That situation, until some prominent Shia and some prominent Sunni come forward and say "Enough"

Of course, the fanatics would kill any religious leaders who attempted to negotiate a peace between the two groups.
