would you say that there is currently a split between sunnis and shiites ?
starting from iraq and spreading throughout middle east.
is there a rift between hizpollah and al quada (i ve read that in a couple of papers) ?
and how to sunnis (especially the saudis) see the current power politics of iran ?
saudis and egyptians seem to be extremely quiet in the current conflict.
Incidentally, Cypez, I am not a Hezbollah apologist per se, or even a mullah-fan, but I believe Western misconceptions about the Middle East need to be addressed by those whose roots emanate from the region and who know the region.
thanks for the extended informative post iran forever.
if you read the section "savages strike again" i have heavily critisized israel for its tactics (before and during this current war). on the other hand (and irrespective how much right they might have) i believe hizpollaz action was the least stupid , and has brought no benefit to the lebanese people. they should have expected such barbaric reaction from israel , and not put that burden on the lebanese people.
i ve found the following article in the quardian , and i would like you to comment on it :
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/st ... 30,00.html
they refer that there is no big shia conspiracy.
on the other hand there seems to be (lately) a close relation between hamas and hizpollah. despite the fact , that you made it clear that they are different groups.
lastly it appears that without iran hizpollah would never hat a chance . (a persian student told me that hizpollah is financed with a decision of the iranian parliament with 70m$ / month !!!) it seems that iran wants to show its power and that it can create problems.
and on iraq. who finances the civil war between sunnis and shiites ?
do we have a situation were elites fight for power and one side is financed by iran and the other by al qaida ?
a persian student told me that he wouldnt be surprised if iran was financing both sites just to create problems to the americans
i have some more questions but i ll need to formulate them correctly, and i ll come back to you.
