I can't think of Middle East problems in human terms. We are no longer liberating anyone in Iraq; we are indulging Iranian armament of Shiites while we arm the As-Sahwah Sunni groups and pay former terrorists $250 a month to keep Wahabis out of Iraq. We can't solve that 1400 year old sectarian war, so we are working at a balance of power, while we leverage both sides to sanction US bases situated outside of the cities, and that exists with the sole purpose of ensuring that the Ayatollahs do not control Iraqi oil. The President will secure permanent basing treaties before the end of his term. Iraqis won't have even a semblance of peace until a status quo ante is reached. And that status quo means: Sunnis have been ethnically cleansed out of over a dozen Baghdad neighborhoods. Again, it was in US strategic interests to indulge that otherwise inhumanitarian act. According to the Koran, at the "end of days" Muslims will slaughter Muslims. We can't stop it. Islam is a mutual genocide scheme. US soldiers aren't bodyguards for wannabe murderers. |
