Why do we always get snowjobbed by the leaders as to what the hell is going on over there. They think we are idiots or something. we have the internet you know Mr. Snow and nomatter what we call it Sectarian violence(what a crock, it seems we never allow anyone else to have a civil war, because if its a civil war we have to take a side. thats why we dont want to call it that. thats my summary on the whole fiasco.
