… Iran And Saudi Arabia. "Throughout the wider Middle East, numerous countries are being wracked by unrest and civil conflict. And, in a majority of the conflicts, the ongoing crises can be seen as an expansion of a proxy war between two of the region's main powers. On the one hand, Shiite Iran has been expanding its influence in Iraq and Yemen while trying to keep its influence in Syria intact through the support of the Syrian government. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia has responded in kind by backing Sunni forces throughout the region.

Good map to illustrate the current state of affairs. I think this one is developing into one where the West might be best advised to keep out of it as much as possible – difficult, but not sure interference helps. Iran considering Saudi Arabia as the main 'enemy' in a Regional/Religious struggle would seem a lot better development for the West than seeing the US as the main enemy in a Global struggle. For a start, the oil problem would go away – both sides would deal if the West was seen as basically neutral. |

Very good map … and very well illustrates the situation … Maybe if they "decide" the long ongoing situation between the Sunni vs. Shia … would go a long way to end much of these conflicts. That being said, it may be a bloody resolution … And if my research is correct 85% of moslems are Sunni … |

Astute observation about the 30YW. I suspect it will be 10x worse in terms of human lives lost. |

Anyone else see this developing in Islams version of the Thirty Years War? Islam has had 1300 years to get that settled. I don't see it resolving anytime soon. |
