I think what we’re seeing right now is old scores being settled. Remember muslims don’t work and play well with other muslims unless they are the same brand. Most al quaeda are sunni, I believe. The shias in iraq, which are a slightly in the majority, are being slaughtered right now, and the iranians (also moslty shia) are sending troops to suppport “their” people. I think we’re going to see some semblance of a replay of the iran-iraq war, with iran deploying NBC weapons. Not a good scene.
Just my 2 cents worth
Meanwhile in America.. Iraq is a billion light years away.. and Kim Kardashian is the only thing they know.
