One of the most ironic consequences of the U.S. Invasion of Iraq is that the new government elected by the people of Iraq is now dominated by the Shiite faction which is the same group that controls Iran.
Under Saddam, who is a Sunni, there was continual fighting between Iraq and Iran. In fact the number of dead in Iraq was far greater from the fighting between Sunni Iraq under Saddam and Shiite Iran then from anything else. Millions have died on both sides.
What Bush has managed to do is allow the majority Shiite to come to power in Iraq after his “free elections” and now we have the SAME Islamic sect in power in BOTH Iran and Iraq. If Bush is correct and Iran is the most dangerous element in the Middle-east, he has provided the link that could cause these two Moslem countries to cooperate in the future and ferment even greater terror in the United States and the West for decades to come.
The historians will have a field day with the magnitude of the miscalculations of George W. Bush.
