Iraq... a little background

A lot of people seem to be pretty misinformed about the situation in Iraq. The attacks in Iraq are not terrorists attacking Americans, it's Sunnis fighting Shiites and vice versa. It's a power struggle. NPR did a great 5-part story this week on the history of the divide of these two muslim sects. It's great background. It even includes the history of how America managed to get involved. you'll have to add the "www." to make the link work: npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7346199

WOW. Thanks for the link. That was a HUGE eye opener. I still support the war efforts, but I''m starting to wonder if there is't something else that can be done. What, tho, I don't know. I can't keep my kids from fighting. I'm the last person to figure out how to stop a country from fighting. Tammy

So maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but what I think you're saying is that you want to see the region stabilized but you're now thinking that maybe military action alone isn't the answer. Am I hearing you correctly?
