I have felt, ever since our involvement in
Iraq and Afghanistan, that the above scenario is one of the probable end games
being quietly played out. The United States has a history of joining in armed
conflicts with no clear vision of what victory would look like. We have been
present militarily in this region for over ten years, and it seems, at every
turn, there is more chaos than when we started. I am certain that the “powers
that be” didn’t intend to create such mayhem, but I feel that somehow the S’Hia
sect, or tribe as I’ve called them in the past, seized upon the opportunity
given them to expand there influence and Religious zeal. As of this date, I can
not say they are failing in their attempt to create a “Super Islamic State”,
and summarily dispatch the State of Israel.
Not a pretty picture, this. I don’t have a
good feeling about the outcome of such an expansionistic move on the part of
Iran; especially with their apparent march toward nuclear weaponry. Take a
moment to look at the picture as it is right now. Pakistan is teetering.
Afghanistan is in turmoil. Iraq is a total mess. And, now, Syria is being laid
to shambles. Iran is just sitting back, fat, dumb, and happy, waiting to
solidify a Supreme State of Islam under total Sharia Law. There is a myriad of
scenarios after such a State is formed, and none of them should look good for
the Americas, all of Europe, Russia, India, and Northeastern Africa. I get a
sick feeling in my gut that indicates there is really no way anyone can stem
the tide. The rest of the World is going to have to find a way to coexist with
an outcome such as this, or similar.
