      Terry McCarthy implied during his talk with Charlie Rose that Shiites and Sunnis's were not particularly aware of one another prior to the US intervention. Is he implying that life in Iraq would be better now if we had not interferred? i.e. Are we the main cause, as some say for greedy monetary reasons, the cause of the war?

      I realize this is a very uneducated questions. However, everyone seems to speak as if they have all the answers...but who do we believe?

      In the four-plus years since the war in Iraq was started, I have never seen commentary as good, clear, helpful, as that of Senator Jack Reed and - double win - Terry McCarthy on the show today. Thank you. The AU presidents from Beruit and Cairo, finishing off the show, were so important, adding to the evidence of the civilized and urbane portions of these Middle Eastern communities, with which we have become so involved and toward which there is, unfortunately, some prejudice, in America.

      Thank you (all) for putting together this show. Perhaps the time is finally right for us to settle into the reality of this war, and to thus be strengthened to leave it in a way that helps settle the region. Much as I'd like it to all end right now.

      I learned more about the situation in Iraq in this interview than I have over the past years watching and reading the news.
