So this is going to be the long term theme. The Mahdi force in Iraq has a blank cheque to do what it pleases, because it has the blessings of the Seyyeds in Qom. No longer is it important to have the blessings of Sistani, who does not like the Seyyeds in Qom. Some say that it is he who has got some US blessings. But that is the Sunni anti-US people talking.
Meanwhile it gives the warmongers all over the world an open theatre of war. In the long run the Iranian people have to realise what is happening to their poor and their oil income. The US loves to keep the whole mess away from its borders, and to send its poor there to fight. Both nations are using Iraq as a horrible hell hole to get rid of certain elements of their society, and use this whole scenario to keep the oil price up.
The only real way to change it would be to show the roots of Seyyeds and Islam in general. Films need to be made showing who Salman Parsi was, and how he created Islam as force to counter Christian proselytizing. And that brings to the fore the whole area called Ur, where Abraham was born.
And that is the spiritual reason why the die hard religious people of all three religions are so heated up about. All three are linked to Ur and its origins in the Abraham story. But what in the world have the authentic Iranians got to with it all? Why should the people who celebrate Nowrooz over and above anything else give two hoots about Ur? And so why should we waste our oil income on any of this?
