I watched the Frontline episode on the origins of ISIL and it's fascinating. Had the shiites not been bastards in Iraq after Saddam and/or we'd given the Baathist Military some jobs - we might not be in this mess.

Aren't they all Suuni? That is, ISIL, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait... -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 10:45 2
- Isil I believe is shite based, at least they seem to make a point of killing sunnis, OTOH, even Iran (shite central) is against them -- nm - zeiiiiiitgeiiiiiiiiist Nov 3, 12:37
- I believe so, so it may be tribal and/or as Reagen says...established governments are scared. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 10:48
