That I could not imagine it was probably because it was so obvious! A demo of Divide and Rule at its best is underway currently in Iraq, Iran and the rest of the Middle East!   Therefore Plan B may well be as follows: do a balancing act by getting the Shiites and Sunnis to checkmate each other. There is some evidence that this is working. The two sects have begun indulging in mass reprisals against each other, and each has out-of-control militias running around. Intriguingly, a new fatwa by a top Saudi scholar declares Shiites to be infidels, worse than Jews and Christians, link thanks to reader Shahryar."}
