ISIS And All That !

In one of my earlier post , I wrote about the victory of Assad forces and the world should reconcile with him. However, the global political equation is far too complex to maneuver so quickly. Now, it has become a clear divide in Middle East between the Sunnis and Shias.

Look at the irony of the situation. IS takes over Iraq and shows extreme brutality openly and yet Saudi does not lift its little finger. But Yemen president is displaced and the country starts getting bombed  by the Saudis. If only Saudis would have shown the leadership with IS in Iraq, it could have taken a leading position. But, it allowed Iran to get away with Iraq and now with Yemen. Practically, Iran has now become a dominant force in the Middle East to fight the terrorism.

Till date Syrian forces are fighting for their country, but Iraqi forces quit one city after another and leave heavy armory in the hands of ISIS. This is the class of army trained by US. The air strikes alone can never achieve the ground victory. It has to be taken by an army only. But whose army ? It is time again to reconcile with Syrian army , atleast they have shown chivalry to fight till the end. This is the only army, which can remove ISIS from Syria.

The reasoning of Assad killing his own people is no more sustainable. Libya, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia are glaring examples, where local revolutions did not culminate into matured democracies. Assad, if could have been displaced in early stages was still another story, but after so many years, he has legitimized his position.

Iran after the nuclear deal will certainly become a strong nation. And that is good for US as it becomes the guardian of some of US interest. Oil prices would become still better and the Shia , Sunni balance will be established.

ISIS is product of radicalism and Iraq political fall out. But I dont buy this story that Sunni victimization by Shias in these areas created ISIS. 

In one of my post during the Iraq disturbance , I had written that Bush should come on TV and announce, if the Iraqs dont stop killing one another, then US will divide the country into 4 parts, Shia, Sunni, Kurds and American State. I wish Bush, had read my blog and implemented the same. No ISIS today and we would have seen two new countries with one American state in Middle East. And ofcourse, the American state would be the one with the most oil. Even, now, if US chooses to enter the way, then this should be the condition that it will divide Iraq into 4 parts. Well, if Russians can take Crimea,, then US can take away part of Iraq.
