The seed of inclusive Iraq began to take shape until Obama's agenda pulled the rag under it. Now is the sectarian game among Iraqis as shown throughout Muslim history. Well, it happens in D.C. as well with ACA and coming abusive executive privilege regarding Immigration issue that Obama intends to rewrite the law from the executive branch????

Riiight - as long as you ignore what happened between 2003 and 2008 (or for the preceding several centuries, to be precise).. For example,

Sunni detainees were allegedly discovered to have been tortured in a compound used by government forces on November 15, 2005. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectarian_violence_in_Iraq

The Shia and Sunni in Iraq will not get along until they have to, and even then, only to the extent that they have to. Nothing America can do will ever change that. In fact, letting things fester was probably the best policy.

Bgood - inclusive IIraq? you must be joking. The only way these disparate tribes/religions/races ever have lived together was under Saddam.

West should have just left him alone to do what so many of these Middle Eastern despots do best (given the mess of borders and "states" they were left to work with).
