that are very important issues. Their different religion results in different value, in different "moral concepts". It makes it harder for the cooperation between USA and the iraqi people.
It also results in different religious groups (shiites and Sunnites), something we didn't had in Germany.
But I'm afraid the US Administration was, just like you, unable to see that or considered it not to be important.
