Reply #31: You're right. That's a bunch of nonsense.

"The whole argument that a country won't have a civil war because they haven't have one before is moronic."

Yup, that quote's nonsense. Especially since that's not the posters whole argument, and it's coming from somebody who was just whining about personal attacks.

"This writer doesn't know anything about the history of Iraq, which is above all an invented country manufactured by the British after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War, from three dissimmilar and unrelated ethnic groups. This so-called country is about 80 years old"

Here's some more nonsense. Ironic too, since the author of this quote just made a ridiculous gaffe regarding the history of Iraq. Furthermore, the author fails to acknowledge the point that Shia and Sunni have been living there for the last 1400, which has a large amount to do with the OP, which the author clearly didn't read nor comprehend.
