The US opened a can of worms in invading Iraq, from what I read in the newsletter a civil war between Sunni and Shiite Muslims seems to be a possibility.
What American strategists seem unable to comprehend is the mentality of Muslims, the hatred they are held in by them and how that is used against them.
Arabs with the oil and power are not going to cut off the supply of oil, they rely on the money too much to do that.

Paul, I agree with you on the US not being better educated on this part of the world, and we have made some mistakes.
There is a chance for a civil war - that is what terrorists are trying to do. At least Al Quada - if you read the article.
The Arabs would not cut off oil for too long, but they can still play games with our economy by shutting it off for a few months. Raising prices, etc....
