    it doesn't matter - people don't give a shit

    Sunni - Shi'ia. the reason this isn't a story is because, as previous posters stated, most americans are confused about the subject and really don't give a shit about the differences.

    I'm a democrat who hopes Bush and co are put in jail for the rest of their lives as war criminals and I don't give a shit about the differences either. I just want this bullshit occupation to stop.

    Those who blindly and stupidly support McCain don't care about the differences, but they believe Sunnis and Shi'ites are all towel heads and thus probably Muslim and therefore evil so we have to kill them.

    What the democrats have to realize is that people think it's weak to compromise, to not fight, - to PULL OUT troops ("pull out" think about it, it's flaccid, weak) it's easier to hate that love. It's STRONG and MANLY to kill. the Dems have to solve this problem or McCain will win.
