The enemy of my enemies...

Withal that's going on in Washington, what caught my attention is the announcement that the military has begun giving arms to the Sunni population in Iraq. Reversing the stance that no one except designated Iraqi troops and 'coalition' forces may retain arms, we are now giving arms, not 'the best' arms-perhaps Klatchnikovs- to the Sunnis so they can help kill Shiite and those darn Kurds who won't shut up about having their own 2 acres and a mule.

All this proves is that America and this government still does not understand the arab brain.
America invaded Iraq, has caused a civil war, thousands are dead, tortured, robbed, homeless and we expect these people now to go out and kill for us, in the name of instituting democracy?


We are assuming the thirst for revenge is great enough that an armed sunni will be happy to go forth and take revenge on non sunnis causing coalition troops a headache?

And we wonder why 3/4 of the world hates and disrespects us? Why we are not trusted? Why we are considered invaders and crusaders?

I give this 30 days or less before we hear news that Sunni Iraq, newly armed by America, will have turned on American troops to defend their country and their hated 'brothers'.

Because the enemy of my enemy is my brother.
...and the enemy is us.

The arrogance of this government is beyond belief and punishment in terms of future attempts inside this country surely will be on all our heads for such gross manipulation of people's lives and the destinies of their countries.
