My point is that listening to the SA government criticize the situation in Iraq is similar to listening to the neo-cons criticizs the situation in Iraq - the situation in Iraq is largely their creation. Neo-con philosophy got the US government involved in Iraq, but SA promotion of intolerance is largely responsible for the sectarian tensions amongst the Iraqi population. SA government policies of intolerance are a major contributor to "sectarian hatred" internally among Muslims (a la Iraq and elsewhere), and externally among Muslims and non-Muslims. That's only partly true. They are driven as much by the prospect of oil wealth as they are "sectarian hatred". After all, the Kurds are Sunnis too but the Saddam Sunnis have no more love for them then they do the Shia.
