Why would they want to do this? How are US and/or Israeli interests served by civil war in Iraq? It makes no sense.

But I don’t really get why AQ or The Resistance or whatever wants Iraq in civil war either. What’s the point?

Multi billion dollar weapons systems for a start.

Oh please. That’s the crudest sort of vulgar Marxism, and you’re not even a Marxist. Having Iraq go up in flames could drive oil to $200 and send us into a depression. Our rulers can be nutty & short-sighted, but not that nutty & short-sighted.

Why does every bad thing in the world have to be authored by the US or Israel? That’s white-man’s-burden thinking with the signs reversed.
