The Business of Conflict???

The protesters in the green zone  were chanting anti-Iranian slogans,  they and the process of toppling this government are all very satisfactory to the Mullahs in Iran.  

Back in the current kerfuffle, Sadr himself is of mixed Iraqi/Iranian descent and has spent plenty of time in Iran. The fact that his supporters are complaining about Iranian influence does not mean they aren’t acting in accordance with the wishes of their neighbor.   This  may actually turn out worse for ISIS. The Shiite militias hate ISIS and they have already been getting some sectarian slaughtering in during the retaking of Ramadi.  The Iranian-backed militias really hate the Sunni civilians where ISIS operates. So let’s stop trying to cobble together three groups that hate each other: Shia, Sunni and Kurd.  The Kurds already have a state in everything other than recognition; the Shiites are perfectly happy with their Iranian friends; and the wild card is the Sunni regions where ISIS is entrenched. The tribes who live there are the same ones who allied with the U.S. in 2006 to kill the ISIS precursor al Qaeda in Iraq.

Four parties hate each other and all of them hates USA's intervention. Two are fighting today, tomorrow the other two will try to eliminate each other.        Just a thought.
