Poonte said: Think: Carving up of Arab land, solely as per the wishes and plans of the colonial powers, who have absolutely NADA, ZIT idea about the culture, traditions, geo-political realities of the land being carved...I find it utterly incomprehensible. Hmm... This brings to my mind what Bush said just few weeks before invading Iraq. One of the military generals said that Iraq has two large sects of Muslim- sunnis and shiites. Bush said " Oh really? I thought all iraqis are muslims". No wonder we are seeing the sectarian violence that has killed more than 50,000 people since US inaved Iraq.
