Iraqi leaders from different communities are edgy, fearing that the spread of sectarian civil war from Syria to Iraq and to the rest of the region is becoming inevitable.
“The next item on the agenda is Shia-Sunni conflict,” said a senior Iraqi politician. “We thought Lebanon would be first affected by events in Syria, but in fact it is us. The only way to prevent Iraq being destabilised is to put out the Syrian fire at once.”
The linkages made in the piece are simplistic. Even the false flags in the ME are false now. Internal politics in a couple of NATO countries is driving the wider dynamic now. It's often forgotten that Turkey is in NATO. And Hollande's sycophancy to the US has recently brought Sarkozy out of his exile to claim that Hollande is only doing what he used to do. Meanwhile poor Arab families in their hundreds of thousands suffer horrors as a result.
