Not really. When it comes to alliances, there is no commutative property. Just because some Sunni are allied with us and some Shia are allied with us doesn't mean the Sunni and Shia are allied with each other. And these alliances we are forming are with groups that oppose the central government. In our desperation to create positive developments, we are arming nearly every faction in Iraq. This will make for a spectacular civil war when these groups we arming start fighting each other. This doesn't make Iraq a better place, it just makes Iraq more dangerous if we leave. And that is what Bush's real policy is: to keep us in Iraq until their oil runs out. Bringing Sunni and Shia together? Not really. When it comes to alliances, there is no commutative property.
