Mr Wabpilot ... the moment it became know that US will invade Iraq and from the moment Saddam writing was on the wall, Iran started a massive campaign to prepare Iraq at its battleground should US turn its cross-hair on Iran, however many of Shia mercenaries groups that Iran helped also US a lot in their bid to overthrow the bathist. In Iraq, there are Shia groups that are heavilly affiliated with Iran and some of those are used both by Iran and US.
I think you are mistaken on the fact that iran is not arming Shia. Iran is indeed arming certain groups of Shia that are loyal to its ideology ... and they are being used as a trump card should US decides to attack Iran. today there is only teasing ...
however, certain members on this board for some funny reason feel linking Iran to the Sunni insurrgency. I believe that they are WRONG, 100 percent. Iran will not create a wild animal that it cannot tame once US has left Iraq. To put it simply ,,, US presence is temporary in Iraq, but Iran knows that it will have deal with those Persian-hating Sunni the moment US withdraws .... but again for some reason people seem to like to link Iran to the Insurgency, the sameway they linked Iraq to Al-Qaida, in 2003. and for some reason the same people avoid all question regarding the Sunni kingdoms ... infact OOE is the only person on this board who came close to entertain the idea that Saudi Arabia might be financing them ....
