What makes it more confusing is that not all Arabs are sunni and within Sunni and Shia,there are some divisions too.

They are preparing for war wether we like it or not. They have already made plans to take over thailand so that they have a better launching pad for their missles which reportedly have range that includes the distance of the east coast on the U.S. and russia isn't exactly against it. I personally believe that we as a country are too heavily armed to be defeated in a conventional war with a clear defined enemy so I'm pretty sure this will be resolved one way or another.

Yeah, SANCTIONED because we can't use force and the UN WON'T use force because #1 they are weak and #2 China is on the Security Council (PERMENANTLY, along with: USA, UK, France, and Russia)

China decides what happens to Sudan ultimately

If we go to war with China do you think they will let us know the fight results, or will this crap throw a wrench into the gears of our prediction contest?

We've just threatened china with a boycott of the '08 olympics if they don't comply with helping the darfur region.

Is that really a big deal? Explain how this puts the pressure on?

"Do as we say or we will not play with you!" That stopped working for me when I was 28 or so.

Well considering we played in the games that hitler hosted and we've never boycotted them before to my knowledge yes it is a pretty profound statement. It's a bigger statement when made politically as opposed to saying you don't wanna play with a certain group of kids on the playground. Those kids don't rule over a billion people and have a professional image to maintain.

It just seems like the only people whe would be hurting are our own athletes. I think a better stratagey would be to convince other countries to play with us elsewhere.

Overriding an international commity that chooses where the olympics goes (which is a sporting event that has at one time or another interrupted wars so that contries could compete against each other. This was more common of the ancient olympics than the modern day one stemming from 1894ish.) would be a disaster. Any country that actually does respect us would think we we're full of ourselves and above the rest of the world.
