Before you claim someone else doesn’t understand the situation declare your allegiances. Are you on team Sunni or team Shia?

My point was that don’t accuse others of not understanding the situation just because you don’t agree with them. It could be that they understand a hell of a lot more than you think.

"Are you on team Sunni or team Shia?"

Perhaps people are being condescending to you because of statements like this. This is real life, not some stupid movie about vampires and werewolves. I also responded to the question by stating I am on team Iraq, in other words helping to build a nation state which is how these people have to start thinking. This is not new ground, this has been done in Germany and Japan. Before that, we did it in the Phillipines. If you would have read what I posted and the article I shared with you, you would understand this. Instead you come up with sophmoric sayings.

Perhaps you are some brilliant well read person with a global understanding of the situation. If so, then it's getting lost in your sophmoric and childish responses.

If you actually care to engage in a real discussion, I'm there to do that. By your responses you have shown to not be willing to do that. You just keep saying the same things over and over no matter how I try to explain it. You don't answer my responses, just repeat what you said previously. It's not a question of whether we support one Muslim sect over another. It's a question of if we want to see the Middle East go up in flames, and possibly nuclear flames eventually.
