Did we watch the same video?
It's a nice little primer for the kindergarten crew that doesn't know much about the various ethnicities and religious divisons in the ME. It sure doesn't really argue much as to why we are in Iraq though, which is supposedly it's primary premise. It's more about why the ME is such a big flustercluck in the first place and has been for centuries.

Well the Video presentation forgot to mention that Syria is ruled by Alawi.
This is yet another Muslim Sect. It closer to the Shi'ite, but it is a separate sect.
