Behold the next war in the middle east.

It is out in the open now people, the next war in the mid-east (whether it is a cold war or not remains to be seen), it is Sunnis against Shi'ats.
With the Sunnis backed up by the 6 Arab gulf states along with Egypt and Jordan which happens to be all pro-American, and of course the Shi'ats are backed by Iran.
The war started long ago in Iraq, where everyday a 100 or so people die from both camps.
And it is rapidly moving towards Lebanon where a general strike began today called by the opposition lead by Hezbollah against the pro-western government. And it was a bloody start with 15 people wounded in the morning hours.
But I think it is about to escalate even more and here are my reasons:

- Secretary of state Rise was in the region last week and met with delegates of the now called 6+2+1 countries (6 gulf states, 2 for Egypt and Jordan, and USA) aiming at stopping Iran's influence in Iraq and the region.
- All of the sudden Egypt, Jordan and some gulf states realized that they have a severe energy problem and they all need to start building nuclear reactors for future energy needs!
- In an interview with former Hezbollah Secretary general he clearly stated that Hezbollah is part of Iranian intelligence.
In KSA a lot of clerics are calling Shi'ats as non-believers and the government stating that it will interfere in Iraq if the killing of Sunnis continue.
- In Egypt there has been some serious lobbying recently against Iran and the Shi'ats both domestically and internationally:

* Egyptian foreign minister Aboul Gheit, was in Turkey (another big Sunni country) and was talking tough saying that Egypt will not stand by watching the Iranians becoming a nuclear power.
* Pakistani president Musharaf is in Egypt to hold talks with Mubarak.
* Sheikh Youssef Elqaradawi is accusing Iran of spreading Shi'ism in Sunni countries.
* Al-Azhar president criticizes distribution of Shi'a books in Egypt.

So forget the Zionists and the Imperialists and watch out for the Shi'ats.
