Excerpt from “Moment of Truth in Iraq” by Michael Yon

“Iraq is one nation.” Those who suggest that Iraq should be partitioned, noting Iraqis often do not get along and the Sunni-Shia rift is profound, miss the crucial reality that Iraqis consider themselves foremost to be Iraqis. The conflicts between Iraqi Sunni and Shia are largely political, not theological. Al Qaeda, now the main instigator of civil war, is thoroughly discredited and strategically crushed in Iraq. Today, Al Qaeda’s attempts to incite sectarian violence only back fires.”
