Maybe they need a USA over there...
Abducted Saddam trial lawyer found dead - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com
I'm not talking about a "United States of America," but a United States of Arabia. These Middle-Eastern countries ought to band together, at least in an EU fashion. Cooperate in intelligence, economy and security matters. Perhaps this would (a) ease insurgency amongst the Muslim countries and (b) reinforce the unity that is supposed to exist amongst all Muslims (there's a Muslim word for this unity that I cannot recall). This USA should be based on common tenets of Islam, and really should consist of every single Muslim state in the area--Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, etc.
Anyway, there's a random thought for you. I linked to this article because of this piece from the article: "For months, the Shaab district where al-Janabi was captured has been the scene of attacks by insurgents and violence between its mixed population of Sunnis and Shiites." It seems to me that the entire Middle East and not just Iraq is heading towards Balkanization.
That sucks. It means that not only will oil be negatively affected, but the human cost will also be high. Perhaps that is what the Powers That Be want: keep oil prices high so they can get even more money. Fucking ridiculous.
