And, no doubt, soon the Saudis as the largest Sunni power in the region will be forced to step in on the side of ISIS to counterbalance the expanded Shiite role in this conflict. And that’ll shortly thereafter pit the Gulf kingdoms and ISIS against the Shiite power structure, with “Iraq” as the battleground.

Oh well, at least it’ll be interesting to see the borders redrawn in a region that people actually care about. It’ll be the first that I’m aware of since the breakup of those various Eastern European countries, and China taking over Tibet.

If his turns into a region-wide Sunni/Shiite civil war, look for the price of oil to go up.
