I...As the Iraqis say: "let me serve you!" I am not sure, but it seems people are not aware of two elements: 1) Iraqi Shiites only had Iran to run to in 1991 when Bush senior encouraged them to revolt then turned his back on them, supposedly after advice he received from Mubarak and the Saudi King (if any knows any info about this please do let me know). No Arab country opened its doors to them when they ran for their lives and many of them ended up in Iran. How they were treated there is also another issue, because it seems they weren't very well treated.<br />2) All Iraqi leaders following the US war and the fall of saddam's regime didn't exactly walk into a friendly neighborhood or an Arab League conducive to stability and democracy! <br />Can't say I blame them for feeling paranoid and hostile toward their neighbors!Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911531366961197969noreply@blogger.com
