As I have said on this forum many a time that Shias are on the ascendancy.

It has if pluses and minuses.

Plus is that the Sunnis, who are the majority, and are the backbone of the terror being perpetuated against the world, are being shown their place by the Shias, who are the minority and like it or not, less aggressive of the two. My experience is that because they are the minority, they are more amenable to see reason that the Sunnis.

Let the Shias and Sunnis, if they want, battle it out, even they cannot see the mediium of rational dialogue. Let the best man win in the Islamic supremacy struggle.

The Shias have been on the wrong end of the stick in Islamic history. They should be encourage to find their place in the sun. This encouragement will find positive response. In fact, in Iraq, allowing the Shias to find their rightful place is doing well in calming the Shias of Iran wherein the people are not too delighted with Ahmedinejad's wild ways.

While it may appear that the US is bumbling around in Iraq, it may not be so the case. In fact, the US is possibly on the right path to ensure that the balance of power in the ME is evening out and is not lopsided enough to blackmail the world as has been the case so far!
