Party (A) and party (B) both have a set in stone unbreakable opinion regarding the religion they practice and or live by, differnt from the other. Party (A) AND Party (B) have fought for hundreds of years over said religious strife brining into the arena of argument all kinds of sub disagreements, land, oil, etc. It just so happens that both of these parties have many others like them in the middle east. None have been able to stop the reoccurring violence against each other. Why we get involved I have trouble understanding. For example trying to bring democratic ways to Iraq. We might eat that ideology up like ribs on a platter. Leave em be is how I feel about the issue. I should disclose that I know very little about the facts of the above mentioned religious strife but I do know from common sense when I see 2 guys beating the hell out of each other outside of the bar over a pool shot not to go over and mitigate the situation.
