===> Nonsense!
They don't need Uncle Sucker to mediate their civil war to have the ability to determine their own futures! <=== The people of Iraq will never have a chance for self-determination if the US pulls out. The Iranian backed IslamoFascist Shiites would take over and create another regime, like the others in the area, that brutally enslaves the minds and bodies of the people. ===> Why on Earth would you say that? (You think the Sunni nations in the region would NOT oppose Iranian expansion? That's just CRAZY, it's the #1 thing on their minds! :-) The Sunni nations would meekly oppose Iran, just as they do right now. They are only interested in bleeding and enslaving their own people and stuffing their own fat guts. If anything, these Sunni nations will need help from the US in order to protect them from Iran. ===> The Shia are ALREADY in control in the areas where their population dominates... but NOT where they are minorities (as in the Gulf regions of S.A., or Kuwait, or central 'Iraq', etc.) So, *that's* no change. <=== Egypt is majority Sunni. I wonder why Egypt is currently asking for help from Russia, in order to restart Egypt's nuclear program. ===> "And, two, the Sunni world is *significantly* larger --- more populous & richer --- then the Shia minority is worldwide." <=== Iran would finance an IslamoFascist terrorist war against the rest of the Middle East. The other nations in the Middle East will not be able to defend against it. A Democrat controlled US would offer appeasement to the Middle East, but no plan of substance or significant military backing. The Democrats will still be blaming the US for everything that has gone wrong with this world over the past 2000 years. Iran would eventually dominate the Middle East just like Hitler dominated Europe. |
