House divided

Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki has used sectarian differences to promote his personal agenda. As a Shia Muslim he has replaced the Sunnis in his administration and withheld government benefits from the Sunni areas in Iraq. Lincoln said a house divided will fall. For many years here in America we have fought to eliminate the divisions between black and white and have made considerable progress but still have long way to go. In addition we now have women against men and rich against poor. Are we headed for a fall?
