step back and take a look regionally...Ba'athists, Shi'as and Sunnis (with a sprinkling of Kurds) in Syria...Sunnis and Kurds in Turkey...Shi'as in Iran, Sunnis on the Arabian Peninsula...Pakistan with both Sunnis and Shi's, A'stan with Sunnis, Shi'as, (not to mention ethnic divisions)...throw in Israel, Lebanon, Somalia, and the former Soviet republics bordering the region and the question becomes, anybody got a match?
