When he says, things would be better "if the Sunni's were given their fair share in the Iraqi government," that's preposterous. <BR/><BR/>The Sunni's have been given power in the Iraqi government. Maybe not as much as they would like, but they are the only group I know of in Iraq who has actually been handed power.<BR/><BR/>Why did they have to be handed the power they have?<BR/><BR/>Because they refused to participate in the elections.<BR/><BR/>Why? <BR/><BR/>Because they were too busy throwing a fit about the fact that they were no longer going to be able to run an apartheid government, as they did under Saddam.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.com
