I am not familiar with -"Such A Parcel of Rogues in a Nation", but I believe that the Sunnis will indeed try to pull down the al Maliki govt. of Iraq. Unfortunately, this will probably lead to a prolonged U.S. presence. In fact, I am hearing some rumbling about using the S. Korea model for Iraq to keep U.S. troops in Iraq. Presumably, this is to secure access to Iraqi oil by multinationals.

I still think that the Iranian army should have a strong presence in Iraq and that it is Iran who should be protecting the govt. of al Maliki. The U.S. continues to play two against the middle in an effort to control the flow of oil with absolutely no regard for the lives of Iraqis.
