Think how different the world would be now if Obama had backed the popular uprising of iran’s youth at the beginning of his first term

That moment will go down in history as a pivot point with disastrous a outcome.

Sometimes I wonder whether there is an iranian agent digging away in this administration

“agent”? More like agentS....

The reality is that George Bush replaced the Sunni govt in Iraq with a Shia controlled govt. This led to a civil war in Iraq and Bush sent in a surge of US troops to put down the Sunni insurgency.

The Shia prime minister(Maliki), who Bush supported, swore up and down to Bush that he would share power and the oil revenue with the Sunni and the Kurds, but actually purged all of them.

Which is why the Iraqi Sunni were willing to co-operate with ISIS, which allowed ISIS to invade Iraq.

To this day, Saudi Arabia has never recognized the Shia govt in Iraq.
