I Found the Problem With Iraq!

Stupid ideas. They are everywhere. It is amazing how many people will believe things that are completely dumb, just so they can keep blame on someone or something.

I am not denying that this could be happening, but merely commenting on how far we will go as humans to find a scapegoat for our problems and then beat it with everything that goes wrong in our lives.

So on with the story.. (please read this with sarcasm)

I was having coffee with an Arab friend of mine. I asked him what he thought about the “Family War” in Iraq. Arabs don’t have a word for “Civil War,” so they call it a Family War. I asked him why he thought the Sunni Muslims and the Shia Muslims couldn’t get along. Can you guess his response? The AMERICANS are doing it! Gosh, never saw that one coming.

For those of you not actually following the whole Sunni/Shia conflict, it actually started back in the 8^th or 9^th century with the 4^th Caliph. Sunnis said one thing, the Shias said another, and since then they’ve been quietly trying to blow the other one up even though they are both Muslim.

I, of course, told him this. He, of course, didn’t care and went on to tell me how the Americans are ruining Sunni/Shia relations. My only response was, “Gosh, really? How?”

So, did you know that the American government will go in and steal a car from a Sunni and put a bomb on it? Yeah, they do. They then return it to the Sunni. The Sunni, thinking that this is normal I guess, gets in his car and drives off. The Americans then watch and see where the Sunni goes. If he happens to go close to a Shia mosque or hangout, (which never happens, I mean, come on, do you think Catholics and Protestants are hanging out together in Ireland?) then the Americans will blow up the car by remote control, killing the surrounding Shias. They do the same thing with Shia cars in Sunni areas.

Did you know that? Of course you didn’t, but everyone here knows it. Why didn’t I know? I guess I was just dumb. I should’ve seen it coming. Of course, why wouldn’t I expect the American government to blow up mosques and kill people and keep the country at a simmering civil unrest, so it is actually harder to establish the government there?

My eyes have been opened!

So, fellow Americans, I urge you to stop blowing up mosques and killing Sunnis and blaming the Shias and vice versa.
