This message shows how crazy the Sunni resistence to change has become. They are a minority of a minority and if they don't quit fighting and join the government instead thye are going to prevoke the majority into destroying them. Right now the US who they are fighting, is all that stands between them and that destruction. But then if they were smart they would have figured this out two years ago.
