This is a banner that I made myself from scratch, with the help of my neighbor John Murphy. It's hanging in front of my house on Glenn Street in Tucson, Arizona.

For those that disagree, I have the following questions:

1. Did Saddam Hussein have weapons of mass destruction right before the war, or not?

2. What is the difference between a Shia and a Sunni Muslim?

3. What is the significance of Karbala, and what happened there on the day of Ashura, and in what year?

4. How many years have the Shia and Sunni been at odds or been fighting, and how many years longer has this been than the length of the conflict between the Protestants and Catholics in Ireland?

5. Is al-Qaida Shia or Sunni, and which one is the Islamic Republic of Iran?

6. Who is the "Mehdi" of the Mehdi Army, and is the 12th imam believed to be alive or dead today?

7. What is a "sayyid " ?

8. What is an "ayatollah" and who do they lead?

9. Which party elected in Iraq is controlled by Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, and which is controlled by Muqtada al-Sadr?

10. Who is supplying explosively formed projectiles to insurgents in Iraq, and who is laying those IFP roadside bombs which kill America troops in Southern Iraq?

11. Which community in Iraq blames which other community for collaborating with the Mongol Great Khan Hulagu when he slaughtered every man woman and child in the city of Baghdad in the year 1258?

12. Who was US Army Captain Freeman meeting with in Karbala, Iraq, when he was kidnapped, and by whom was he kidnapped and then shot in the head and killed?

13. Paul Wolfowitz said at the beginning of the war, "I don't think that the Shia of Iraq want to be ruled by Ayatollahs." Did this statement turn out to be true or false?

14. Are the Kurds Arabs?

15. Are the Iranians Arabs?

16. If the U.S. decided to attack Iran to prevent the Iranian government from developing nuclear weapons, what would immediately happen to our troops in Iraq?

17. Which group of Iraqis are on our side?

16. What does it mean to "win the war" in Iraq?
