I personally don't care who wins in the Sunni/Shiite split--which is more which this is about the National borders. Just so the last man standing has lots of assets and big juicy targets which they will want to keep and not have destroyed. The best thing from our stand point of view would be some kind of balance of terror so to speak between Iran, the Bagdad government, and the ISIS. I think it important to preserve the functioning state to be of the forming Kurdish nation and our ernstwhile friends the Saudi's. I do have worries abut what is going to happen in Lebanon eventually. Whatever it is, I doubt Israel will stand for any take over of that country by a group totally hostile to its interests--so I think there's the danger point that could lead to our involvement in some conflict there. Not sure what, if anything, we can do to head this off right now--the moderate factions in Lebanon not being strong enough to exert any influence right now.
