Sunnis complain about US and Seyyed collaboration

"Then suddenly something went wrong, and last week Maliki (who is now equally close to the Iranians) went to war against the Sadrists. Some claim that an under-the-table deal was hammered out in Baghdad in March between the Americans, Maliki and Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad. The Iranian leader would let the Americans have their way - and crush the Sadrists - in exchange for softening pressure on the Iranian regime. In return, Ahmadinejad would help them bring better security to Iraq through a variety of methods stemming from Iranian cooperation. ...Other Shi'ite heavyweights in the Arab world, like Hasan Nasrallah of Hezbollah and Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri, who are both very close to Iran, have been relatively silent over the ordeal."

It is marvelous to see how the Sunnis or Saddam Hussein heirs view the whole Iran-Iraq deal with the Sadr Brigade. Clearly the writer points to that Seyyed element, that is really out of place in Iran and Iraq. Ancient Iran and ancient Iraq (or Babylon) have a common peaceful root. It is only because of these younger religious dogmas and their bandits, that have served the pockets of oil companies, that the situation does not change. But the areas of Iraq where the Seyyed holy shrines are, will always be a bone of contention for them. Can one really call them "holy" if they have caused so much death? For me if anything causes death, then it is wrong. Nothing is above Life, and this has been said in our ancient Zend Avesta some 20000 years ago.
