That's the basis for the whole problem actually. Suniis and Shiites harrdly consider themselves "brothers". Now throw in a whole bunch of other ethnic and religious minorities to that mix and the mess Iraq is in right now becomes pretty understandable. Iraq's basic problem (one which Saddam opposed with sheer totalitarian brute force) is it's heterogenous populace.

I think the basic sin lies not with the Attack on Iraq in 03 but rather a few administrations back when some silly people decided to make Saddam Hussein their volatile ally. This current generation is just paying for mistakes commited in the past.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
