Wont happen,Mennonites and Baptists dont live peacefully next to each other
Those folks have a hundred years time out,the Iraqi's havent had 30 years of one yet.And our little lets play them off each other war between Iraq and Iran certainly didnt help matters,let alone the Kurds wanting there own state because they trust us not one iota after Bush the elder encouraged them to rebel and let Sadaam blow the rest of his armorment on them

Now to you and me its a discussion of foriegn policy,now to an Iraqi its,"See that,thats where gandma lived until the Americans blew it up,now lets go visit your sister who died at Abu Ghraib's gravesite"
