Very interesting article regarding the middle East. For me it made a few pennies drop so would like to test out my theories on a hostile audience.
The gist of the article is that the law of unintended consequence(Or massive miscalculation) will result in Iran effectively controlling Iraq as a vassal state.
In a nutshell, I think the alliance want to leave Iraq but in doing so we will effectively hand control of the region for all intents and purposes to the Iranians. The recent unrest in Iran has most probably, as accused by the Iranians, been agitated by foreign sources, frantic to effect regime change in Iran before they pull out of Iraq.
If my hypothesis is correct even partially, we have effectively fought a war using our countries lives and resources to further the aims of the very people who fund and propogate the ideology we are trying to defeat.
