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
The protection of Christians should be our dog in this race and should serve as the basis of our foreign policy.
We do have interests ~ one such interest are the several Christian communities still there. You side with the Sunni you sign their death warrant.
