How does empowering the decidedly Sunni Islamo-Nazis staging and raiding the plains of Nineveh serve the interests of the Shia in Tehran?

I've learned to respect Ledeen over the years but I've yet to see the pattern, or at least a successful pattern in Obama's strategy on this chessboard.

The tired old formula Sunni vs Shia is and has been a propaganda construct. It’s easy to see that when people deny that Alawites are “almost Christian” and unrelated to Shia Islam.

Iran isn’t Arab. The shredding of the Arab world is of very great benefit to Iran.

The shredding of the moslem world is in our best interests, as long as it is done in the right order.
