Let me get this straight: Iran is Shite. The shires will die if the rebels have their way. That means that Iran will lose out. Isn’t Iraq now controlled by shiates?
my essential point is that regardless of all appearances, neither the radical fundamentalist Wahabi-Sunni Muslims of Saudi Arabia and their philosohpical allies in the MB, nor the radical fundamentalist Shia Muslim theocrats in Iran are now or ever will be TRUE shared-values friends of ours
Syria is their proxy war
and we have no dog in that race
“Isn’t Iraq now controlled by shiates?”
Yes, and the same religious proxy war - between Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims - fed and led by fundamentalist Islamic figures on both sides, was the socalled “civil war” the militias were fighting against each other when we were in Iraq - the same terroristic war against each other that continues in Iraq today. There too, none of it is intrinsicly in the general interest of the Iraqi people, but it is Islamists on both sides that are on top of it.
