#3 Why didn't we think of this before? :-) Where's the jawdrop graphic? Or maybe a beartrap graphic might actually be more appropriate?

#6 This is a good thing. We need the Sunnis and the Sunnis need us. The Sunnis, like former Nazis in post-WWII Germany will be key to rebuilding the country. And strong Sunni and Kurdish representation in the gorvenment will keep idiots like Sadr and the Iranians at bay. A million plus Sunnis have already fled Iraq, and that's a bad thing.
