Our primary enemy in the ME is Iran. Iraq was the counter balance to Iran as Iran is Shia and Sadam was Sunnie. Although most of Iraq is Shia. They fought a monster war agaisnt each other and it ended in a stalemate. Then Bush went in and took out Iran's enemy (Iraq) and got rid of the Sunnie and turned the government over to the Shia. Which destabilized the entire ME by getting rid of Iran's enemy for them. So Bush gave Iran exactly what they wanted. He got rid of their enemy and put in a friend i.e. Shia tribesmen. And so now Iraq is joining with Iran and together they will oppose the United Sates. Great strategy. << 103 killed in Iraq's deadliest day this year From the Associated Press \| 5:32 a.m. The coordinated attacks in 13 cities sends a chilling warning that Al Qaeda is slowly resurging in the security vacuum created by a weak government and departure of U.S. troops.
