It's fine to disagree with the President. It's fine to call him inept. If you think he's the worst president in our history, more power to you.
But to call him a
criminal? That's pure DailyKos lunacy.
Technically, to call him a criminal would, in effect, condemn United States military leadership. If you want to drag Bush and Cheney before the Hague, then General Petreaus would be next up on the docket. Do you really think this appropriate, warranted, or justified?

One thing that might get the Sunnis and Shiites working together would be a commom enemy. If the radicals on both sides decide it is their best interest to team up to fight the west (or the US more speciically) they could pose a formidable threat. I could see them deciding to settle their differences after they've acheived a common goal.

When you refer to "the Sunnis and Shiites" are you referring to the
Iraqi Sunnis and Shia, or the broader Sunni and Shia populations of Islam?

The west's treatment of the middle east throughout history has surely left a very bitter taste with many from that region.
