A dire prediction! The mess in Iraq will have deep repercussions in the Mideast. Because the Sunnis hate the Shia and consider them not much higher on the totem pole than infidels, the conflict could erupt threatening the West's oil supplies. My guess is that the Shia will step up pressure on Israel, the enemy that Sunni and Shia alike love to hate.
The Iraqis, so consumed with killing and bloodshed, can't seem to kill convicted criminals properly. What a fiasco!
"“The reality of the current situation is that we are approaching an open Sunni-Shiite conflict in the region,” said Emad Gad, a specialist in international relations at the government-financed Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo. “And Egypt will also be a part of it as a part of the Sunni axis. No one will be able to avoid or escape it.”"...In December, a top religious leader close to the Saudi royal family, Abdul Rahman al-Barak, said that Shiites, whom he called rejectionists, were worse than Jews or Christians.
“By and large, rejectionists are the most evil sect of the nation and they have all the ingredients of the infidels,” he wrote."
