So basically the Sunni's, in the future, are going to be very bitter and so expect many Sunni's to join the terrorists and cause a lot of trouble in the future. Most of the 9-11 terrorists were Saudi Sunni's. George Bush and his oil men are breeding terrorists and making things worse. The deal should have included the Iraqi government, which represents Sunni's, shiites and Kurds.
I thought we wanted one iraq, not 3 different countries? | Maybe if the central government could pull it's shit together all three factions in Iraq could benefit form oil deals. Something wrong with doing business with them before they pull it together?
