However,recalling essays posted in the past by Hugh Fitzgerald at JihadWatch.org (now at NewEnghlishReview), one begins to wonder if Obama is inadvertently revealing the true nature of Islam through his policy. The tribal nature of the Middle East defies Western logic/policy.
Why express “worry” about sectarian violence between different sects of mujahedin, who otherwise would be devoting their energies to our destruction? Evacuate the Christian minority and leave Islam to do what Islam does to themselves.
As for the Kurds, they will never be Arab. Islam is an Arab supremacy ideology, hence the eternal conflict between shia & sunni . . . any future for Kurds depends on expendable energy the Shia or Sunni has for addressing Kurds - eternally. It's the nature of the beast.
Islam is a self inflicted wound. The sooner the West realizes survival depends on excising Islam, the safer the world will be.
The shame should be over the waste of US soldiers lives. If Obama had followed through with military presence, I believe Iraq would be stable. The only way to keep the sectarian violence down is with a strong deterent. I think the extremists could have been marginalized. Now, forget it.
