"iran clearly will not be excluded from our sights as this mess plays itself out..."

No doubt... (especially since they *exist*. :-)

"sri lanka is also not mentioned, but does that really matter? I think not..."

Little Sri lanka does NOT represent *one side* of the two-sided inter-Islamic religious war (analogous to Catholicism / Protestantism in the pre-Reformation days of Europe).

'Sri lanka' does not refer to a *large*, downtrodden, and often much-despised religious minority scattered throughout the oil producing regions of the Gulf Arab States.

'Sri lanka' does not refer to the religion of the *majority* of Iraq's citizens, more then 90% of Persians, large 'blocking' minorities in Lebanon and elsewhere, and the ruling (minority) sect of Syria.

So... YES, it *surely does* matter when some duffus AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMES that the Shiites & Persians either don't exist, or else will HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT the possibility of Whabbist Sunni Islam 'taking over the entire Middle East and then the world'!

(The Shiites have been 'caring' about that possibility for CENTURIES... so I see no objective evidence suggesting that they won't 'care' now. LOL!)

To put that particular article forward as 'responsible' or 'important' is just LaLa Land.

The guy doesn't even know who the major players are....
