To Shakey..
You are profoundly ignorant....that is what comes from reading and believing the Murdoch press!

The refence to the Saudis funding and backing the Sunni fighters in Iraq is bizarre because those Sunnis militant groups are also attacking the US military who are allies of the Saudis.

Its a real can of worms .and I have to say that a major factor in all this has been the USA which for a very long time has meddled in Iraq from its funding and military support of Saddam to the connivance in his attack on Iran way back the early 1980s to the economic sanctions and the US invasion itself.All for big oil.

Not for nothing was Bush known as the President of Big Oil Inc....after all this deadly interference we now see Iran emerging as a regional power with the strong possibility of another US attack on an oil rich country in the region.

As for your death list in the Middle East I sure the Iraqi people who have seen their loved one slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands and their society destroyed would have some grounds to disagree with you.
The bare faced cheek of these warmongers!!!!
