Iranian soldiers fighting in Tikrit?


Holy Hell, It's A Free-For-All Over There !How about this, we stay out of it till the dust settles. It's impossible to tell the good guys from the bad. With all this Arab on Arab violence I find it impossible any of them to be able unite themselves long enough to become a serious threat to The United States.

Irregardless of the partisan voices in Washington only one thing has become clear. No one knows what the hell is going on. We arm the good guys one day. The next they aren't the good guys or they vamoose like a bunch of cowards leaving the weapons we supplied behind.

Partisan hacks want to lay this at the U. S. President's feet. Yeah sure like he's able somehow to resolve disputes between these crazy ass religious tribal wars that have been going on for centuries.

I'll repeat what I said before in the most simplistic way I know how. Political borders were carved out by Western European ideologies. This isn't the way things work over there. It doesn't matter where one lives in the Middle East. What entirely 100% matters is what religious tribe one belongs to. No one's going to change that no matter how hard anyone tries to make them into a united government similar to ours.

Which is why we need to keep religion as far a possible out own political system as far as we can so we don't become screwed up like them to avoid similar divisions within. I truly believe our founding fathers were well aware of this fact. As for many of our current crop of political leaders, I'm certain they are incapable of understanding such a precept as those who founded this nation. They understood the need for religion, but also understood the separation between it and what the consequences would be if it were not.

HUH?

What is it I'm not getting?

Every religion is against killing.

Yet everyone of them does it?
