7. Good point, wtmusic
I've seen that myself and while I noticed they were wrong I didn't think about what it means; you put it perfectly.

What they also totally ignore is that if the Shia are 60%, and the Sunni are 20%, then the vast majority of warm bodies opposed to US troops in Iraq are SHIA;

Poll; US; Liberators or Occupiers?

80% of both Sunni and Shia answered occupiers.

Shia: 25 million @ 60% = 15,000,000 * 80% = 12,000,000

Sunni: 25 million @ 20% = 5,000,000 * 80% = 4,000,000

THREE TIMES as many SHIA than Sunnis.

Opinion of bush?

Shia: 63% unfavorable; 9,450,000

Sunni: 66% unfavorable; 3,300,000

OOPS huh...SIX MILLION MORE SHIA than Sunni have an UNFAVORABLE view of bush. :D
