Problems in paradise? Jihadis not getting along?

Sunni vs. Shiite. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Let them go at it.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

A look at Iran

All this would be great if we liked $8 gas. Why, oh why aren't we drilling in Alaska and off the east and west coast? That alone would fix MANY problems in the world.

A little trouble in Russia, how about the rags going back to eating sand? Stabilizing the dollar, putting South America( read Hugo Chavez) losing influence.

I can't think of one downside from us drilling and producing our own energy.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

The saudis believe manual labor is religiously beneth them. Who in the hell is going to fight an actual war? Most of their military is just there to act as a personal protection force for the royals.

[SolidWood]

The Saudis will come begging us to do the fighting for them.

Obama will be the great mediator. He will sit down with leaders from both countries and convince them that it is foolish to direct their anger at one another....when they can direct their anger at Israel and the U.S. instead. Then he’ll apologize for America again and start foolishly bowing to both.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

IF we ever had a President with a pair, he/she would give an ultimatum to the biggest supporter and facilitator of the faux-cum-cult Religion, ISLAM, and tell the house of Saud that if they did not stop promoting and financing Islamic-Jihadist groups and schools in the US, we would pull all military protection and they can defend their own sorry butts.

Of course that would only work if we were to embark on a crash course of developing and recovering our vast reserves of oil and gas.

That would be a win-win situation, but sadly will never happen.

Donning my tinfoil hat, I am convinced that there is some (maybe a lots) of Saudi (and OPEC) $$$ being used somehow (in addition to lobbyist)to influence Congress and others to obstruct and prevent our becoming energy independent--and I don't mean wind and solar.

[G8 Diplomat]

This is Lawrence of Arabia-style tribalism with bombers and Kalashnikovs, except it’s Arab on Persian this time not Arab on Arab. If there was no oil over there & we weren’t hooked on it no one would care about these Sunni-Shi’a spats.

Drill in ANWR already.
