Why should the Shi'ites give one drop of their oil to the Sunnis? Would you give your oil to the Sunnis?

Question

The Kurds and the Shi'ites have all the oil. The Sunnis want a lot of the Shi'ites oil. The Shi'ites will never give them a drop. And why should they? While the Sunnis were stealing the Shi'ites oil during the past 75 years, they never gave a drop to anyone.

So Bush's "democracy" - just deadly enemies stuck in a bloody feud - must and will fail!

Bush has only one rational (and immoral) reason to risk our guys in a foreign oil war: to blame his disaster on the next president.

The population of Iraq is 2/3 Shi'ite with the Kurds and the Sunnis splitting the rest. There are 4 Shi'ites for every Sunni. Bush's "democracy" is nothing but a Shi'ite clique. We have armed, trained, and protected the Shi'ite army for years. The Kurds are also helping the Shi'ites. Even Shi'ite Iran, our sworn enemy is helping the Shi'ites! Shi'ites rule!

And the Sunnis will never live under that rule!

Our guys are getting killed and maimed only because Bush will not admit his mistakes.

Democrats and Republicans are all citizens of a real nation.

Shi'ite tribes and Sunni tribes living in Iraq are deadly religious enemies (going back over 1,000 years) forced to live in Iraq, a chunk of the Ottoman Empire created (1924) after WW I by the British. The Brits armed the minority Sunnis, who subjugted the majority Shi'ites and stole their oil.

Your Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana analogy is stupid beyond words.

Answer 1

I agree with you. We should pull out our men and women and let the Iraqi's figure it out.

Many people told Bush that this would happen and they were right. I knew the second that Bush was appointed to Presidency that he would be attacking Iraq and I was right.

Answer 2

Hmm, so your saying that all the texas , alaskan and lousiana oil, really belong to republicans, and we shouldn't share any of it with liberals ?

Bad analogies made smart men, look simple.

EDIT:

So would you be happier, if I changed my answer to:

Why should the Southern Baptist in Texas and Lousiana share their oil with Catholics, Jews, episcopalians, methodist, athiest from the rest of the country.

That puts it in the same religious context of your question.
