our annexation of Iraq and seizure of its oilfields
has galvanized opposition to USA

the latest disconnect is the help offered by Jordanian Sunni troops
it will not help, since Shiites will not embrace them
and the Sunni visitors will see blasphemy in local Iraqi shrines
we American Christians do not understand Shiite vs Sunni nature
we think they are like Catholics and Presbyterians
not so at all, we are ignorant, as usual

and has provided greater motivation for challenge against the corrupted Saudi royal family
I fully expect an "invitation" by Fahd and Faisal and Abdullah soon to help rescue them and protect them
then all hell breaks loose
no Islamic Oil nation on earth will tolerate direct assistance from US Forces standing on Saudi soil
never again

neocons probably think we got to Iraq just in time
before Saudi fell apart badly
our lack of cultural understanding will be our imperial downfall

what I have learned in the last few years is that people who are on the wrong track in their thought process, when they must react to events unfolding, turn their thoughts even more radical, even more wrong, and depart even farther from the most objective paths

that explains why the difference in prez approval ratings from dems and repubs has gone ballisticly high

we have descended in a de-evolutionary process toward tribalism
not to improve thought process, debate style
