Let's look at what the US is doing. It thinks that somehow the Shiite world will support it, just because of Maliki's order to attack Basra. Fact is that the Shiites or Seyyeds, do not give two hoots about Iraqi nationalism. Seyyeds do not care for the 5000 years of ancient Iraq or Babylon. They only care for their 1400 year of dogma. It is about time the US supported the very ancient roots of the area.
