Quote from claywilk:
Iraq is in flux. Iran and Saudi Arabia both want to obtain primacy over the country. Iran supports the majority Shiites who under Saddam were oppressed by the minority Sunni's who are now supported by Saudi Arabia. Anyway our President had the wonderful idea to topple the government and create a democracy despite the fact that we would essentially be handing the country over to a majority associated with our sworn enemy Iran. Well the shiites were smart and were laying low leaving our forces to fight the Sunni's who are really supported by our "friend" Saudi Arabia. Well the Saudi's didn't like the way this was working so they had their golden boy Osama Bin Laden tell the Sunni's in Iraq to start attacking the Shiites so that they didnt get a free ride. So the violence exploded as Sunni and Shiite started killing each other. Days after the Sunni's started targeting Shiites in Iraq, Irans Shiite A-Team Hezbollah attacked Israel in order to send the message to the US and Saudi Arabia that they can make life difficult for them without a direct intervention into Iraq. And the message needs to be to all the innocents in Tehran "DUCK"!
