Look at the fact that Iranian Shiites (Hamas) are directing most of the terrorism in Sunni based Palestine. Why in the world would the second class Shiites do anything to help the Sunnis? The Shiites have been thoroughly repressed in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, and every other country in the ME. Obviously, the Iranians enjoy the bloodsport regardless of whom they are supporting.

I think the underlying reason behind our mission in Iraq is to defuse all Iranian aggression within the area by restoring Shiite power in Iraq. As we restore Shiite power in Iraq, that will give the Iranians more constructive ways to spend their time. The same will be true in Palestine.

Eventually, all of these Arabs are going to have to grow up and get to work. The price of oil will only go so high before people develop alternate forms of transportation. At $65 a barrel, it is much easier to find competing forms of energy. Eventually, car companies will realize that people will buy just as many cars whether they run on gas or electricity.
