Pity they both can't lose

On the other hand, that Romanian saying divide et impera might be a good one to invoke here. A long bloody stalemate might be just the ticket. A while back, Pepe argued (OK, he stated) that the war in Iraq is a dismal failure because the extremist Sunnis are killing extremist Shias. Sounds pretty cool to me, actually. Maybe the moderates (if they exist) will tell them all to go to Hell and let them alone to enjoy freedom and democracy. So now here we are in Pakistan and Al-Qaeda is going after erstwhile allies Taliban kinda like Fatah and Hamas were at each others' throats up till a couple weeks ago (and as they will be soon again).
Disappointed your barbarians can't unite against Rome, Pepe?
