here’s one of my tragic predictions for 2007(and i hope i’m wrong, by the way)-
sometime soon there will be a huge wave of sunni violence against shi’ites in iraq.
then the iraqii civil war will escalate to the point of no return, as iran will become increasingly involved in iraq, as iran is predominantly shi’ite. and then the u.s and the neo-cons will finally get what they want, war with iran. that’s the neo-con endgame at this point, and it’s fucking tragic.
one reason they’re putting more troops into iraq is because they want to go into iran. the neo-con’s can’t own up to their mistakes, so rather than admit that they’ve completely screwed up they’re going to ‘surge’ until we have world war 3, involving iran and syria.
like i said, i hope i’m wrong.

p.s-the sunni’s in iraq are feeling as if the shi’ites are getting special exemption from the rule of law. this is making them angry and scared. for the bush/neo-con plan to work they have to have the complete cooperation of the shi’ites(as the government is basically run by the shi’ites). the shi’ites know this and they will use this to their advantage, further marginalizing the sunni’s. it’s about to get very bad, which is sad and tragic for all involved.
