Ok,
it's fairly obvious Iraq
is suffering for the same disease many nations in the region are afflicted
with.... weak governance and a population divided on social, religious and
economic fronts!!!
Kurds....
Sunni... Shia.... Arab.... Persian.... all have visions for Iraq 's land and
none of them have anything in common.
Oh...the
rest of the world wants one thing.... keep pumping!!!!
Now,
Maliki is no different than any other two-bit opportunist from that region of
the world... simply looking for "power" wealth" and both must be
obtained by keeping your foot on the throat of those around you.
Both
Maliki and Muqtada al-Sadr have climbed in bed with the Persians, well at least
for now, but al-Sadr has -plans ... long term and they don't include Maliki and
the surly don't include the Persians!!!
The
Kurds have plans, plans that are well underway thanks to Exxon and Turkey , and they to don't include Maliki and Iran .
Let's
cut to the chase....what is holding Iraq together?
My theory
is war fatigue on the part of the citizens.
As much
as the Sunni would like to toss Maliki out, something Muqtada al-Sadr tried less
than a year ago, they and others in the country are simply sick of Iraq being in a
persistent state of crisis!
Here is
the problem!
As is
always the case, reluctance is often overcome by tragedy and a tragedy can be
"
created" by those who need the crisis to grow!
In the
case of Iraq ,
who might that be?
You don't
need to look very far, just to the South!!!
What do
the GCC nations see in Iraq ?
They see
a flowering proxy puppet of the Persians.
What do
the Arabs of the GCC know is the achiles heal of that flowering relationship?
Yep...
the deep seated feelings of Arabs towards Persians....
And what
can the GCC stack on top of that emotional topic... Religion!!!
Ok....
how much trouble is Iraq
really in?
At the
end of 2012 I made a prediction Iraq
would be the "hot topic" in 2013...
I'm still
placing my bets on that theory.
