Sherri - if this thread is not about Iraq, why are you blathering on about Iraq? You need some education regarding Iraq. The sunni and shia tribes were slaughtering each other long before the U.S. entered Iraq. It's a shame that you purposely mis-state and mis-represent to further your agenda of hate and self hate. Sorry hon, no one's buying the lies and deceit you promote.I actually am not aware of active fighting between Shiites and Sunnis taking place anywhere, ...
That's likely because you're a bit on the dim-witted side. Among the latest little dalliances in Iraq was this schedule of shootings, bombings and maimings that pit sunni A-rabs against the Shia islamists.
It doesn't take much imagination to understand that the 1,400 year old simmering hatreds that divide these Dark Age throwbacks are boiling over into internecine hatreds and killing.
Deaths in Iraq car bomb attack
Deaths in Iraq car bomb attack - Central & South Asia - Al Jazeera English
At least eight people have been killed and 22 others wounded after a car bomb exploded in the central Iraqi town of Zubaidiyah, security and medical officials said.
The explosion took place at a marketplace on Wednesday around 9:15 am (0615GMT) in Zubaidiyah, around 100km southeast of Baghdad in Wasit province.
The medical official said a child was among the dead, and women and children were among the wounded.
The attack comes a day after a series of attacks across Iraq killed 38 amid preparations for ceremonies on Friday to commemorate the birth of a key Shia figure.
Also on Wednesday, a series of morning assassinations with silenced pistols left three people dead in Baghdad - two police officers and a parliament official.
Hollie,
This is supposed to be a discussion board about Israel and Palestine, not Iraq. Are you aware Iraq is not part of Israel and Palestine? Here is a map just for you.

Further, it was the US invasion and occupation of Iraq that began the killing among Shiites and Sunnis. Under Saddam, the power was in the hand of the Sunnis. But MOST IRAQIS ARE SHIITES, AND THE PEOPLE THERE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING OVER WHICH GROUP WILL HAVE POWER EVER SINCE THE US WAR.
Sherri
Back to the topic, are you aware that "Palestinians", continue to occupy Israeli land?
Lastly, I noticed that your map identifies the "Arabian Sea". Be careful with that. The Iranians have an affinity for a different term describing that body of water.
The Mullocrats in Iran might be forced to have you stoned and cast of a cliff for such an egregious error.
