The conflict between Sunni and Shiites in Iraq is what this cartoon is portraying. Obviously the cartoonists positions is that the conflict is to blame on an ignorant American Government, portrayed as a cowboy. He also portrays the views of others that yes, the Americans did break into Iraq but that they are not to blame for the current conflict. The way that the cartoonist portrayed the two factions like two djinns ( Devils from Arabic mythology) made it pretty persuasive, it also had a lot of humor in it, which made it more convincing indeed.
