Just thinking about the bombing of the Mosque, I still cannot see what possible benefit that event is to the US war effort in Iraq and the conflict with Iran. The US optimistic rosy picture of Iraq has always been a united democratic country with a strong central government. And of course with close friendly puppet like ties to the US, so that the oil reserves can be quickly exploited. I fail to see how this event helps. On the contrary, the US is held responsible for the increasing instability. Does this make the US Neocons look good? Iran, of course, blames the US and Israel. But if one looks to who benefits, one could logically conclude Iran does, in that it unites the Shiites and undermines the US position in Iraq. That said, I don't know who is responsible, and for all I know it may just have been an extreme Sunni group. If Israeli agents are responsible, the US would not be pleased in my opinion. We may never know the truth, therefore all that is left is speculation.
