#1 United States wanted to use Saddam Husseins execution to stoke tensions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.

Blazing infernos of tension need little "stoking." But feel free to blame the US anyway.

#2 It's always someone elses fault!

Shiites and Sunnis killing one another, inspite of the best efforts to rebuild and bring democracy - and the United States is to blame again.

#6 In Iran and Iraq, for years, Shiites and Sunnis have been living together peacefully.

Yeah sure there has been a few centuries of acrimonious relations but except for that little eight year war that kilt a couple mill. Andcome to think of it those pesky death squads reeked a little havoc. Oh yeahthere were some occasional retaliatory bombings and assassinations. But aside from that and some of those indiscriminate slaughters here and there, overall, its been pretty damn peaceful.
