    Some Sunni may even cheer Iran getting bombed. Sunnis and shiites really hate each others guts.

      Not all of them all the time. Hamas are a bunch of radical Sunnis, who like Iran for example. However Al Qaeda and the Taliban really do hate Iran. Iran even told the US were to bomb Taliban positions, which was a big reason why the US could invade Afghanistan as easily as they did. Both Iran and the Taliban also fight the Islamic State.

      The entire region is really complex and yes some Sunnis are going to cheer Iran being bombed, like the Saudis for example, others will not.

      All Sunnis and all Shiites hate each other? Even unto death?

      Well then they must be truely barbaric and therefore deserving of the decades of avarice inspired wrath meted out upon them by successive US governments and their proxy settler colony.

        Without excusing western societies, at all, it’s a fact that many Muslim, not all, countries that use the Sharia as a basic legal framework, in literal interpretations, are fucking barbaric. So yes. And let me repeat, not excusing western societies. One thing doesn’t excuse the other.
