I and many Iranians suspected this. In fact I welcomed the departure of the British forces in Basra. Now the Iraqi nationalists can tell the real truth. So the Shiites in power in Iraq have a lot to answer for. Are they with the Seyyeds forces fighting to release southern Iraq from the rest of Iraq? Iraq is a new nation created by the Brits from the spoils of WW1. The map of Iran was redrawn and we never got all our lands back. You have to go back to moment when the capital of Iran was Cteisphon and then became Baghdad by the descendants of another alien called Halabi Qureshi and Salman Parsi the Apostate. The Iranian form of peace as brought on by Cyrus the Great was never attained in the area through religio-politico differences. Xenephon mentions how Cyrus used the principles in Zend Avesta. No one has managed to go back to the Declaration of Human Rights. Its modern equivalent - Democracy, is a process derived from the concept of choice or "Gozineshi" as mentioned in the Zend-Avesta some 20000 years ago. The Seyyeds want to go back to make a Kingdom of Abraham in respect of the first son of Abraham. But the Israelis do not like that. These two forces are dominating our every day life. Iranian Astrologers tried to change the course with the birth of the second Sayaoshant (Jesus of Nazareth) which was foretold by Jamasp. But these concepts are not discussed in the Universities or other areas in the powers that are in Iraq. They do not know why the people are motivated to do what they are doing. All we hear are, "Oh it's just Oil". The human spirit is deeper than oil. And the reason for the confusion in the area is that the ancient reasons are not being respected. Ancient reasons are always behind the bitterest divisions in any society. The fact that so much oil comes from this area, forces the modern world to face it everyday. So there is a part of human history that cannot be forgotten. It is the roots of human history and that is why in this time period, we need to tackle it properly, giving Ancient Iran its proper respect. Nothing written in these new books such as Koran, Bible, or Torah will have the answer. You need to go back all lot further than that and the youth of Iran are doing that in the name of Ahuramazda. You can see how they are winning by the number of people in Iran that did not participate in the Seyyed selection process. We Iranians have gone to our non violent roots and will chnage the world we live in with respect to the life loving spirit of Nowrooz which is some 20000 years old.
