AS 2013 APPROACHES, REGIONAL ISSUES GROW.

As hard as it might seem to believe, the post Syrian conflict issues for the region truly are becoming the priority concern the governments Middle East.

It is no mystery that the GCC nations have a unified issue, Iran!

For months now I have spoken to the issue of rainy and, Persians, GCC, Arab, tensions in the dangers that may ahead.

It is old and redundant news understand Iran continues to desire and need this attractive conflicts which they can manipulate the region.

Clearly GCC leaders are anticipating the next, "battle", after the fall of Assad.

It is not difficult to see the obvious sectarian fighting lines in this conversation between the GCC and the leadership of Iran.

I find interesting is the fact that in reality the GCC, issue is about power and money.

Power and money may not have the same vigor as religious differences, but to in reality go hand-in-hand.

As the last week in the year 2012 comes to a close, I will spend the rest of that time speaking to the issue of the sectarian struggle in the Middle East.

The street-level sectarian issue is the guiding, motivational force.

The nationstate level, the issue is power and wealth.

Stoking the fires of hatred based upon sectarian, historical differences, is an easy tool in the hands of all of those involved.

2012 closes out not being a good year for Iran, Syria and most importantly the czar!

Over the course of the next several days, I will take a stab at painting a picture of where I believe the sectarian or so called, "sectarian", conflict will take the region in 2013.

It is far too easy and far too simplistic make the statement at the chapter called Assad is about to come to a close.

Yet, the truth is the region continues to face issues that outweigh even the atrocities of the Syrian conflict.
