2. Whoa ....... you're angry today.

Divide and conquer has worked very well many times all over the world. Shia and Sunni lived among each other as neighbours in Iraq - married, worked together, .. Iraq was secular. As was Libya, as is Syria. Christians and minorities had more protections in these countries than any of our bestest allies, including SA. He's right, we destroyed much of that co-operation and turned it into a hatred that's helped us prop up one dictator, tear down another, turn peaceful protests into bloodbaths. Seriously, trying to eliminate the West's role in all this is the flaming bullshit.

Spin, twist and obfuscate ..... you're on a roll today.
