IRAQ NEEDS HELP (WARNING: GRAPHIC PIX)

[HairOfTheDog]

Iraq soon to be Iran, I would like to see that, they will both fight to the death they hate each other that much and it would weaken Iran.

Today, Iran sent troops into Iraq to help the Iraqi government and military combat the insurgents.

Now that Iraq's government is Shia-based, like Iran's, the relationship between the countries' leaders has changed.

Under Saddam, Iraq was led primarily by minority Sunnis -- though in all fairness he did implement secular policies.

Up until the US invasion, al-Qaeda didn't promote the attack of Shia Muslims by Sunni Muslims. Once the Shiites became the ruling party backed by the US and western allies (the evil enemy), I remember Bin Laden releasing some videos and audios advising the Sunnis to wage war against the Shiites in Iraq.

Middle Easterners have a long history and I think they have long memories and hold grudges for a long time.

It feels sorta like Hussein and Bin Laden are still driving forces for some of them, albeit from their graves.

Strange days...
